YEAR OF COMPLETION

2022

Clark Contractors completed extensive interior renovations for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) as part of a campus-wide initiative to implement energy-saving measures. The project impacted more than 35 buildings across UAMS’s five-million-square-foot campus. Working closely with an engineering firm and other contractors, our team successfully delivered all interior upgrades with zero unplanned or unexpected outages, allowing the major medical center to remain fully operational throughout construction.

The scope of work included campus-wide building automation upgrades, lighting retrofits, and the installation of metering systems. We also performed major electrical infrastructure improvements, including the distribution of power from the newly constructed East Energy Plant, which allowed for the decommissioning of 18 free-standing generators. Additional work involved high-voltage to medium-voltage conversions, expanded district piping to interconnect more buildings to the plant, infrastructure upgrades to the Barton Building, replacement of air handling units, and enhancements to laboratory controls.
