β | The Metropolitan Plan refers to a plan seen almost exclusively in New York state during the 1930s. New York decided to take a step away from the other states by building "super large buildings." These hospitals would become massive sprawling campuses, sometimes with multiple "super large buildings." One example of this would be [[Pilgrim State Hospital]].

New York decided to take a step away from the other states by building "super large buildings." These hospitals would become massive sprawling campuses, sometimes with multiple "super large buildings." One example of this would be [[Pilgrim State Hospital]]. At their peak these hospitals could easily house far more patients then any other institution within the United States. Pilgrim State Hospital alone was able to house almost 14,000 patients at its peak. A few of the "super large buildings" are still in use, while many of the smaller cottage plan buildings on their campuses have been demolished or left vacant. |
