Permits approved for Las Vegas’s first standalone children’s hospital
Clark County Commissioners approved permits for Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital, an 826,600-square-foot standalone pediatric facility set to open in 2030 at UNLV’s Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. The project will be the first fully dedicated children’s hospital in Nevada, eliminating out-of-state travel for certain procedures and marking a major healthcare investment in southern Nevada.
Clark County Commissioners approved construction permits for Nevada’s first standalone children’s hospital on May 20. The Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital, an 8-story, 826,600-square-foot facility, will be built at UNLV’s Harry Reid Research and Technology Park near South Durango Drive. Groundbreaking is planned for later this year, with an expected opening in 2030. The hospital will include a heliport and modifications to the original permit, such as increased building height and adjusted driveway geometrics. It will serve as the first fully dedicated pediatric hospital in Nevada, reducing the need for families to travel out of state for specialized care. Construction partners, The PENTA Building Group and Jacobsen Construction, were named in July 2025. PENTA has prior experience in Las Vegas, including the BLVD shopping center on the Strip, with offices in Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Southern California. Clark County Chair Michael Naft emphasized the project’s significance, stating it will ‘forever change healthcare in southern Nevada’ and diversify the local economy. The hospital is located in Naft’s district, reinforcing its local impact. The approval marks a historic milestone for pediatric healthcare in the region, offering specialized services previously unavailable within Nevada.
