I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'civic buildings' is the definition.
'town halls' can be an answer for 'buildings' (town hall is a kind of building). I'm not sure about the 'civic' bit.

'have hospital completely housed in extremely tasteless' is the wordplay.
'have' becomes 'own' (to have something is to own it).
'hospital' becomes 'H' (abbreviation for hospital).
'completely' becomes 'all' (synonyms).
'housed in' is an insertion indicator.
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters (only the extremes of the word are used).
'tasteless' with its middle taken out is 'ts'.
'own'+'h'+'all'='ownhall'
'ownhall' going into 'ts' is 'TOWN HALLS'.
