The UAMS Northwest campus is community-based regional medical campus, and a satellite campus of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences[1]. It is located in the former 325,000-square-foot (30,200 m2) Washington Regional Medical Center near the VA Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is opening in phases, which started in 2009 as part of the nearly $500 million expansion of the UAMS campus in Little Rock[2][3]. A $3 million phase one renovation was completed in 2009 which provided new classroom, student, and office space and allowed the first group of medical students to attend UAMS Northwest that fall[2]. Phase two renovations are now underway, with expected completion in 2011 and will allow the arrival of the first group of pharmacy students in the fall of 2011[2][4].
