 STATE
OF TENNESSEE CENTER FOR FORENSIC MEDICINE
The State of Tennessee Center for Forensic Medicine is a state-of-the-art
forensic facility located in Nashville, Tennessee. It opened in July 2001
with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
This 20,000 square foot building houses the offices of the State Medical
Examiner for Tennessee and the County Medical Examiner for Metropolitan
Nashville-Davidson County in a cooperative arrangement between these two
government entities. This facility includes many new and innovative ideas
in the design and construction of a medical examiner's office, including
ample use of natural light, easy to clean surfaces in the laboratory,
multi-functional spaces, and many energy saving
design features.
The Center for Forensic Medicine is a one-story building divided into
administrative and laboratory wings by a central two-story atrium. The
administrative wing contains offices for the medical examiners and administrative
staff, an investigative squad room for the Davidson County Medical Examiner,
clerical offices, active and archival records
rooms, a multi-function conference/training
room, and office space for visiting physicians and medical students.
Located in the laboratory wing are the main
autopsy suite, a special autopsy
room, an anthropology laboratory,
a tissue donation room, two body
coolers, and offices for the forensic technicians.
