Campus Growth
 |
In 2004, UAMS began a period of growth with more than $400 million in construction of new facilities or expansion projects, transforming the campus and improving its patient care, research and education services. It marked the most significant expansion effort in the institution’s history.
The projects now completed include a new hospital, the Psychiatric Research Institute, the I. Dodd Wilson Education Building, a five-floor expansion to the Harvey and Bernice Jones Eye Institute, a new Residence Hall and renovation of former Arkansas State Hospital buildings to house the UAMS College of Health Related Professions. A new energy plant and a new parking deck also were built.
Work continues on a 12-floor expansion to the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, scheduled to open in 2010. Construction on a planned four-floor expansion to the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging is expected to begin in 2010.
Planning is under way for renovation work on 24,000-square-feet in the former hospital building for the new UAMS Center for Clinical and Translational Research.
Growth has not been confined to the UAMS main campus in Little Rock. Renovation work continues on the facility in Fayetteville that houses the new UAMS satellite campus.
