The emergency department will be approximately 10,000 square feet, featuring 6 exam/treatment rooms, 3 fast-track areas, X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound, and lab facilities, with a project budget of $13,347,915. The architect will also be tasked with developing a master plan for future site development on 5.16 acres located near the intersection of Resler Drive and Helen of Troy Drive in west El Paso.

The project is part of the UMC 2025 General Obligation Bond Implementation Program, with the selection of the architectural firm to be made at the sole discretion of University Medical Center based on their assessment of which firm best meets their needs.
