VA Las Vegas Medical Center

Designed to provide state-of-the-art clinical services to veterans, the hospital includes a 90-bed inpatient care unit and a 20-bed mental health facility. 

The VA Medical Center Las Vegas provides complete medical services including ambulatory care, radiology, MRI, and nuclear medicine. The hospital also features a pharmacy, laboratories, diagnostic treatment clinics, and educational facilities.

The building consists of a multi-tiered steel frame structure with concrete over metal deck construction. The facility is sheathed in glass curtain wall, ribbon and punched windows, and masonry, and phenolic, and aluminum wall panels. The Center's three main entrances are highlighted by four-story glass curtain wall with skylight corridors connecting them. In the event of a natural disaster or loss of utility service, the hospital is equipped with emergency power, reserve water supplies, and waste water capacity to last four days.

Clark's scope included a significant civil and landscape package with a large storm water retention pond, over 1,200 trees, 12,000 tons of rock, and 815,000 square feet of surface parking area, which accommodates more than 2,000 parking spaces. Wayfinding throughout the facility is kept simple through the use of color coding for each of the campus major components.
