The expansion will be carried out over the next eight years, with an investment of nearly $318m for construction at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock and Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW) in Springdale.

The system-wide expansion plan encompasses increasing bed capacity, transforming inpatient and outpatient surgical approaches through the addition of an ambulatory surgery centre, redesigning clinical spaces to foster multidisciplinary care, and creating an inviting and accessible campus environment.

Polk Stanley Wilcox and Cromwell have been designated as the project’s architects, while Nabholz will serve as the construction manager.

Planning and engineering teams are currently finalising proposals for the enhancements, which are estimated to encompass 265,000ft² of new facilities, in addition to renovations spanning over 170,000ft².
