Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System are affiliates of UAMS.

UAMS recently imploded its student dormitory as well as the adjacent Jeff Banks Student Union or JBSU. The demolition is part of a master plan to expand and improve the campus. Construction has just begun on a significant hospital addition with completion expected in 2008. Other construction projects include a new residence hall, the Psychiatric Research Institute, a new parking deck and a utility services building. UAMS also is building a new state hospital building for the Arkansas State Hospital next door in return for land on which the UAMS residence hall is being built and some additional buildings vacated when the new state hospital is complete.
