University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Patient Tower

LOCATION:  Little Rock, Arkansas

Crafton Tull provided structural engineering services for this hospital expansion. When completed, the expansion will give the medical center a capacity of 270 adult beds, each in a private room. Plans call for the addition to include space for a new emergency department, additional surgical and intervention suites, admissions, an intensive care unit, an intermediate care unit and other services. Additional, unfinished space will be available for future expansion of the neonatal intensive care unit, as well as two unfinished floors that will give the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences a total of 390 private patient rooms when complete.
