The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) hosted a topping out ceremony for the UAMS Health Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Hospital.
Attendees were invited to sign a beam, which was then hoisted by crane onto the building and set in place by Nabholz Construction Company.
The 85,000-square-foot center will be located on about 30 acres in the four-mile stretch of I-49 on the city’s west side, commonly known as the Springdale Care Corridor.
The new facility will be the home in Northwest Arkansas for UAMS Health orthopaedic surgical care and will include exam rooms, operating rooms, and inpatient beds. The facility will also provide sports medicine care, sports performance training, physical therapy, and MRI, supplementing UAMS’ existing orthopaedic and sports performance clinics in the area.
Completion of the building is expected in spring 2027.
