Intermountain Health has selected The PENTA Building Group in partnership with Jacobsen Construction to build the first standalone comprehensive children’s hospital in Nevada.
The new Intermountain children’s hospital represents one of the most significant opportunities to elevate children’s health in Nevada. Philanthropy and community partnerships are critical to make this vision a reality, and campaign planning is underway.
The 200-bed hospital will provide highly specialized care for children and families in Nevada, give the state a $724-million economic boost during five years of anticipated construction and deliver $841 million in annual economic output once the hospital opens, according to an independent research study conducted by Applied Analysis.
In January, Shepley Bulfinch and Gensler were announced as architects for the project and subsequently began design work. Intermountain Health, The Gardner Group and the UNLV Research Foundation signed agreements for the project to be built on the land at the UNLV Research and Technology Park. Groundbreaking is expected in early 2026, with the hospital projected to open by 2030.
