A successful floor plan goes beyond being functional, it considers the needs of the people utilizing the space. The proposed layout prioritizes the use and adjacency needs of each area as to allow the facility and its caretakers to operate seamlessly and better serve patients. One of the key decisions in achieving this goal is the addition of a service lobby and elevator closely located to the loading area. This facilitates the transportation of laundry, food, and other services to Level 2. The building form naturally divides the floor plan into 3 sections, one for each main function: the admin wing on the North, the patient wing on the South, and the connecting section along the West, which hosts the shared spaces and building services.

Recuperative Care Center Project Information Teaming up with Rafael Construction, EV&A proudly secured the design-build commission for a new 27,000-square-foot Recuperative Care Center. Focused on creating healing environments, our design approach ensures that the facility benefits patients, families, physicians, administration, and staff alike. With therapeutic landscapes and healing elements at the core of the concept, the center addresses the physical, mental, and emotional needs of all who enter. Situated on just over an acre along North Main Street, south of Owens Avenue, the two-story facility is designed to wrap around a central courtyard, bathing its interior spaces in natural, healing light. Our planning strategies prioritized intuitive circulation and wayfinding, ensuring the building feels accessible and easy to navigate for everyone. Simple yet impactful design elements—such as abundant daylighting, open spaces, and natural materials—are integrated throughout to foster recovery and a sense of well-being. Every room and space within the facility was carefully crafted to maximize access to natural light and outdoor views, enhancing the therapeutic atmosphere. By blending functional design with elements of nature and intentional planning, the Recuperative Care Center creates a space where recovery is not just possible but actively encouraged. This project embodies EV&A’s commitment to designing environments that promote healing, comfort, and wellbeing for all who experience them.

Community Care “The Las Vegas Rescue Mission helps to serve those in need through food, shelter, daily needs and addiction recovery, offering hope to individuals and families through Jesus Christ.”

The Women’s Center Project Information EV&A generously embraced the challenge of master planning the Mission’s campus on a pro-bono basis in 2020, exemplifying their commitment to community service advancing the capital campaign efforts to reimagine the Mission’s five-acre campus. This ambitious project is designed to enhance services for the homeless population of the Las Vegas Valley, addressing one of the region’s most pressing needs. In late 2023, the Mission achieved a significant milestone by raising the funds necessary to commence the first phase of this transformative initiative: The Women’s Center. This state-of-the-art, three-story dormitory will provide safe and dignified housing for well over 200 homeless women and children, more than tripling the capacity of the existing facility. For over half a century, the Mission has been a beacon of compassion and support, offering a nurturing environment for those seeking shelter and a fresh start. The new facility will feature thoughtfully designed spaces, including a secure outdoor playground for children, vibrant activity areas, versatile training rooms, and a well-equipped gymnasium.

UMC | E.D. Expansion Project Information The UMC Emergency Department stands as one of the region’s most vital healthcare facilities, serving over 120,000 patients annually through its dedicated adult and pediatric care areas. Within this dynamic environment, the Emergency Department’s Observation and Fast-Track Unit provides an essential bridge between emergency care and inpatient treatment—delivering acute care to patients within a 24-hour period before they are either safely discharged or admitted for further care. The recent renovation of this high-demand facility was thoughtfully conceived to address and overcome the inherent limitations of the original structure. Designers responded to the challenges—most notably a lack of natural light and outdated interior finishes—with a transformative vision. The result is a reimagined, openconcept layout infused with contemporary design elements and a soothing, cohesive aesthetic. The new space emphasizes warmth, calm, and clarity—qualities that are especially important in an emergency care setting, where anxiety and stress can be overwhelming. Soft, ambient lighting, warm material palettes, and intuitive spatial organization foster a sense of serenity and support healing from the moment patients and families walk through the doors. The upgraded environment is not only visually appealing but functionally efficient—designed to support rapid response times, seamless care delivery, and improved patient outcomes. The remodeled UMC Emergency Department is a testament to how thoughtful design can enhance both the physical space and the emotional experience of care, ultimately reinforcing UMC’s mission to serve the community with excellence, compassion, and innovation.

UMC Intermediate Care Project Information UMC entrusted EV&A Architects with the transformative redesign of the top two floors of its renowned Trauma Center, reimagining spaces previously used for administrative functions into a state-of-the-art, 32-bed Intermediate Care Unit. This new unit includes eight advanced isolation rooms, reflecting UMC’s continued commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the Las Vegas community with both innovation and compassion. The comprehensive scope of the project extended beyond the clinical floors. It included the strategic renovation of the lower levels to accommodate two new high-capacity patient elevators, each with secure vestibules to ensure safe and private transitions for patients and families. This critical infrastructure upgrade enhances vertical circulation and enables seamless access to the new care units above. Upon arrival, patients and their loved ones are welcomed by a gracious receptionist and introduced to a serene and spacious waiting area, thoughtfully designed to reduce stress and offer comfort. Warm finishes, soft lighting, and generous amenities create an inviting environment that supports healing from the very first encounter. On each newly renovated clinical floor, private patient rooms line the perimeter to maximize access to natural light and provide a quiet, restorative atmosphere. At the heart of each level lies a centralized nurse station, strategically positioned to allow for unobstructed sightlines and rapid response times, enhancing both patient safety and caregiver efficiency. The result is a modern, healing-focused environment that elevates the patient experience while supporting clinical excellence—a true reflection of UMC’s mission and EV&A’s design expertise.

Cost $4.0 MM

Ambulatory Surgery Center Project Information Surgery centers can—and should—offer more than just clinical precision; they should foster comfort, peace of mind, and a reassuring sense of care. While the ultimate goal remains your safe return home, the experience leading up to that moment matters. With this belief at the heart of our design philosophy, we created a surgical environment that emphasizes serenity and family-centered care—ensuring that every patient feels calm, confident, and cared for from arrival to discharge. Completed in late 2014, the state-of-the-art ENT/ASC facility stands as one of the most advanced ambulatory surgery centers in Las Vegas. Housing three fully equipped Class “A” operating rooms, the center meets the highest standards of surgical excellence, all while surrounding patients and their families with a setting designed to ease anxiety and promote well-being. The building’s modern design blends cutting-edge functionality with architectural sophistication. Its sleek exterior is composed of high-performance glazing, rooftop skylights that bathe interiors in natural light, contemporary metal paneling, and warm, locally quarried Southwestern stone—materials chosen to reflect both innovation and a sense of regional identity. Inside, every detail—from the calming finishes to the intuitive layout—was curated to create a healing atmosphere. The flow of the space supports efficient clinical operations while ensuring patients remain at the center of the experience. Waiting areas are spacious and inviting, private pre- and post-op rooms offer tranquility and privacy, and thoughtful touches throughout speak to the dignity and respect patients deserve. This is more than a surgery center— it is a place of trust, where advanced care meets compassionate design, and where the journey back to health begins in comfort and ends with reunion.

St. Rose ER Expansion Project Information Located on the storied St. Rose de Lima campus in Henderson, the hospital partnered with JMA and architect Edward Vance to design the latest expansion of its Emergency Department. Prompted by the region’s rapid growth and the hospital’s ongoing mission to provide timely, exceptional care, the project called for 13 additional treatment beds. Site limitations and the close proximity of an operational heliport added layers of complexity to both the design and construction processes. In response, the design team conceived a distinctive circular layout that maximized space efficiency while streamlining clinical operations. Anchoring the new addition is a centrally located, round nurse station—strategically designed to offer clear sightlines to all patient rooms, allowing for rapid response and optimal care delivery. The existing Emergency Department was simultaneously renovated to house fast-track services and patient admitting, creating a seamless transition between old and new. This thoughtful integration of spaces supports a more fluid experience for patients and staff alike, further advancing St. Rose de Lima Hospital’s reputation for innovation and compassionate, community-focused emergency care.

VA Medical Center Project Information Located on a sweeping 160-acre site in North Las Vegas, this state-of-the-art 882,000-square-foot regional medical campus redefines the standard for veteran care in the 21st century. The expansive facility includes a 90-bed acute care hospital, a 90-bed mental health unit, 23 comprehensive outpatient clinics, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility, and a high-efficiency central plant—all thoughtfully master-planned to provide seamless, integrated care across the continuum of health services. At the heart of the Veterans Administration’s vision was a clear directive: to create a facility that anticipates future needs while avoiding the pitfalls of static, inefficient design. Embracing this challenge, the RTKL + JMA design team developed a modular and highly adaptable approach rooted in the VA Building System. This allowed for flexibility in clinical programming and infrastructure expansion while ensuring operational efficiency and patient-centered care remained at the forefront. Every aspect of the design—spatial organization, technology integration, and infrastructure systems— was calibrated to support evolving healthcare delivery models. The result is not just a hospital, but a dynamic healing environment that serves as a national model for veteran healthcare.

Summerlin Hospital Expansion Project Information Situated in the master-planned Summerlin community of Las Vegas, Universal Health Services (formerly United Health Services) engaged JMA and architect Edward Vance to expand the Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, initially completed in the early 1990s. The project featured a vertical three-story addition atop an existing care wing, carefully integrating modern clinical spaces into the continually growing campus. This expansion introduced essential healthcare services, including an expanded Obstetrics Department, a new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and increased Medical/Surgical and Adult ICU bed capacity. These improvements were thoughtfully developed to meet the community’s evolving needs and to strengthen the hospital’s ability to deliver high-quality, patient-focused care. A key construction challenge was building directly over the active third-floor ICU without interfering with vital medical operations. Through strategic planning, innovative building solutions, and close coordination with hospital staff, the team executed the expansion with minimal disruption—achieving a seamless transition into a next-generation healthcare environment. The finished product is a cutting-edge vertical addition that respects the original architecture of the hospital while advancing its mission to deliver top-tier medical care. Beyond increasing capacity, the project elevated the hospital’s potential to serve the region with greater excellence, compassion, and innovation—setting a new standard for patient-focused design and clinical performance.

Medical Outpatient Facility Project Information Conceived as a catalyst for the continued evolution of the Las Vegas Medical District, this 88,000-square-foot medical office building and six-level parking structure reimagines healthcare development as an opportunity to create place rather than simply provide space. Positioned at the prominent intersection of Shadow Lane and Wellness Way, the project establishes a cohesive, pedestrian-focused campus that strengthens the district’s identity while enhancing the daily experience of patients, physicians, and visitors. The four-story medical office building is paired with a 490-space parking structure, linked by an elevated pedestrian bridge that seamlessly connects the two components into a unified architectural composition. More than a functional convenience, the bridge serves as a defining placemaking element, reinforcing intuitive circulation, visual orientation, and a memorable sense of arrival. Architecturally, the medical office building presents a refined expression of concrete tilt-up construction, articulated with carefully proportioned punched openings and expansive ground-level glazing that fosters transparency and engagement with the public realm. Complementing this understated elegance, the parking structure transcends its utilitarian purpose through sculptural form and a dynamic perforated metal façade that captures the shifting desert light while providing shade and natural ventilation. Native landscaping, shaded walkways, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces weave the development together, creating a welcoming environment that encourages walking, interaction, and moments of respite. Together, architecture, infrastructure, and landscape form an integrated destination that elevates both function and experience.

The Pueblo Medical Center Project Information On a scale more conducive to the small practitioner’s clientele and space demand, this two-story multi-tenant facility is part of the ever growing master planned community of Summerlin and located in the Pueblo Village at Lake Mead and Rampart Boulevards. The design resulted in an 85% efficiency for the developer while allowing for 1,500 SF to full floor medical tenants that include a full spectrum of specialists providing services for this ever growing community.

Peak Medical Office Building Project Information Located adjacent to the Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging facility in the Las Vegas Tech Center is SDMI’s two-story administration building. SDMI is an innovative and expanding medical imaging company. As the building owner, they chose to combine their administrative functions into one location allowing them to expand the imaging functions within their other facilities. The first floor was made available to other medical tenants providing out-patient care for the surrounding community. The design oriented client requested that the design go beyond the typical medical office building architype to create a facility representing the type of technical advances the medical industry is making today.

Siena Medical Center Project Information Located just south of the St. Rose Hospital in Henderson, Buildings 3 and 4 of the Siena Medical Office Park are comprised of twin 56,000 SF two-story buildings. They were the first constructed at the south end of the Park and were pre-leased prior to construction. The cost effective site cast concrete structure was enhanced with tailored detailing and stacked stone accents helping to anchor the buildings to the site. The “L” shaped complex features a 2-story rotunda entrance providing easy access to all suites using shorter corridors. A 2-pipe chilled water system with a central plant was provided making this facility very energy efficient.
