The 115,000-square-foot facility will sit between Arkansas Children’s Northwest and the Blue Cross Blue Shield building in Springdale. 

UAMS hopes to have the orthopedic center open in 2025, according to the report. The facility will be an outpatient clinic with clinical space and a surgery center. 

The University of Arkansas board of trustees in 2021 approved a $109.6 million bond to cover costs of the center. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
