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.

Opportunity Village Project Information In early 2021, EV&A was honored to be commissioned to design the new Northwest campus for Opportunity Village, located at the northeast corner of Thom and Rome Boulevards in Las Vegas. Through initiatives such as workforce development, community employment, inclusive housing, arts, and social recreation, Opportunity Village has created opportunities for independence, integration, and personal fulfillment. The ambitious 17-acre master plan is designed to foster community and inclusion while addressing the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. The campus will feature a Program Services Building, providing vital support and resources, along with a café that doubles as a retail and warehouse space to promote skill-building and employment opportunities. At the heart of the campus is a centralized Clubhouse, surrounded by 94 units of program housing, all thoughtfully arranged to create a sense of connection. The Clubhouse is complemented by a pool, gardens, and parks, offering residents spaces for relaxation, recreation, and socialization. This new campus is more than just a place; it’s a vision of empowerment and opportunity. By thoughtfully blending functionality with community-focused design, EV&A’s plan created an environment where people with disabilities can thrive, building friendships, developing careers, and embracing their creativity.

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. These amenities ensure that residents not only have a safe place to stay but also access to tools that promote growth, dignity, and empowerment.

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.

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.

UMC Trauma Center Project Information UMC of Southern Nevada continues to serve the region with unwavering dedication to patient-centered care through a series of transformative improvements across multiple levels of its hospital campus. These enhancements reflect a commitment to clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and the overall patient and provider experience. On the first floor, upgrades were made to three state-of-the-art operating rooms, advanced resuscitation bays, eleven high-acuity intensive care units, an angiography suite, a CT imaging room, and adjacent support stations—each carefully designed to streamline critical care delivery. The second floor renovations brought a revitalized pediatric emergency department and a specialized pediatric intensive care area, featuring private hospital rooms and a fully equipped clinical support hub. The third floor now houses a modernized pediatric clinic, an upgraded imaging center with advanced diagnostic capabilities, and a full-service pharmacy, ensuring continuity of care from diagnosis to treatment. The fourth and fifth floors saw significant improvements to UMC’s administrative suites, enhancing spaces used by both physicians and hospital leadership to foster collaboration and operational excellence. Two clinical laboratories were reimagined with a unified patient entrance and shared control room, increasing efficiency and access. Additionally, a new pre-operative and recovery suite was created, offering 10 beds and a centralized nursing station to support seamless surgical care and patient comfort.

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. Forward-looking in both form and function, this groundbreaking facility reflects a deep commitment to those who have served, while setting a new benchmark for the future of medical architecture.

VA Skilled Nursing Care Project Information Situated within the expansive VA Hospital Campus in North Las Vegas, the Las Vegas VA Nursing Home Care Unit is a thoughtfully planned 120-bed facility, designed to deliver compassionate, patient-focused care to our nation’s veterans. Developed through a collaborative process involving extensive consultation between the VA’s management staff and the JMA + RTKL design team, the project reflects a deep understanding of the specialized needs of its diverse resident population.

These carefully programmed pods are further divided into two 10-bed “communities,” each organized around a welcoming and comfortable lounge area that fosters social engagement and a sense of belonging. The paired communities share a centralized core that houses essential amenities such as a communal dining area, activity spaces, assisted bathing rooms, and other support functions.

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.

Symphony Park MOF Project Information Strategically positioned at the eastern gateway to Symphony Park, the Symphony Park Medical Office Building establishes a prominent healthcare destination within one of downtown Las Vegas’ most dynamic mixed-use districts. The four-story, 100,000-square-foot facility is thoughtfully integrated into the district’s master plan, reinforcing the relationship between healthcare, culture, and the evolving urban fabric. Designed to complement its distinguished civic neighbors, the building presents a refined architectural expression of concrete tilt-up construction articulated by a rhythmic pattern of punched window openings. A striking vertical circulation tower, accented by a vibrant gradient of color, defines the primary entrance and creates a memorable visual landmark visible from throughout the district. At the building’s signature corner, an illuminated screen of sculptural vertical fins adds depth, texture, and movement while transforming the façade into a beacon after sunset. A transparent, light-filled lobby welcomes visitors beneath a generous porte-cochère, while expansive glazing strengthens the connection between interior spaces and the surrounding streetscape. Carefully integrated patient drop-off areas provide convenience without compromising the building’s clean architectural composition.The surrounding landscape extends the public realm through shaded walkways, native desert plantings, and a pocket park that offers moments of respite within the urban environment. Working in concert with the City’s adjacent parking facilities, the site plan prioritizes pedestrian circulation and intuitive access while discreetly screening service functions. Together, architecture, landscape, and thoughtful planning create a contemporary medical office building that enhances Symphony Park’s identity and contributes to the continued revitalization of downtown Las Vegas.

Charleston Medical Center Project Information Rising eight stories at the prominent intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Westwood Drive, this 200,000-square-foot medical office building establishes a bold new gateway to the Las Vegas Medical District. Conceived as a contemporary healthcare destination, the project combines Class A medical office space with a five-level, 1,000-space parking structure connected by an elevated pedestrian bridge, creating a seamless environment for patients, physicians, and visitors. The building’s elegant steel-framed structure is expressed through a refined composition of glass, EIFS, and gently curved architectural forms that distinguish it within the surrounding urban landscape. Horizontal bands of glazing and integrated architectural lighting accentuate the building’s sculpted massing, giving the façade a dynamic presence by day and transforming it into a luminous landmark after sunset. A transparent two-story lobby anchors the primary entrance, creating an inviting point of arrival while reinforcing openness, visibility, and intuitive wayfinding. Thoughtfully positioned within the City’s evolving Form-Based Code district, the development contributes to a more walkable and interconnected medical campus. The elevated pedestrian bridge links the office building directly to the parking structure, enhancing convenience while minimizing conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. Carefully integrated landscape, generous sidewalks, and activated street frontages reinforce the pedestrian experience and strengthen the project’s relationship to the surrounding neighborhood. Blending contemporary architectural expression with functional efficiency, the development represents a significant investment in the future of healthcare delivery, creating an enduring landmark that advances both the Medical District and the broader revitalization of downtown Las Vegas.
