Abstract
Relocatable buildings are commonly spread around as an alternative method of construction. To consider it a successful practice, it should perform its function similarly to a traditional way. Assessing a building after its operation determines the rate of its success and decides the possibility of repeating its type. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive knowledge base related to space evaluation of the building through spatial assessment. This study investigated the functional efficiency and dimensional requirements of a relocatable hospital in Mosul, in the south of Iraq. This study compared the dimensional requirements of eight hospital departments to the standard, followed by functional efficacy analysis based on space syntax theory and compared the results to examples used in standards books. The results showed that departments in the relocatable buildings have good plan integration. We concluded that hospitals constructed with containers could achieve functional efficiency.
