University Medical Center ER/ICU/NSCU Addition
Architect(s): Dekker Perich Holmes Sabatini
Address: 1800 W. Charleston Blvd.
Year: 2000-3

University Medical Center, Southern Nevada's premiere health care provider, was desperately in need of more space and a comprehensive master plan to bring order to over 30 years of expansion. In addition to the master plan, DPHS also designed a 50,000 square-foot facility housing an Emergency Room, Intensive Care Unit, and Neural Surgical Care Unit. A prominent new entrance for the complex on the south features a twenty-foot wide promenade with a central atrium. The addition is clad in sandstone, colored masonry units, stucco, aluminum storefront, and tinted insulated glazing.
