Local Firm in J/V Wins UNM Hospital Project

The Jaynes/J.E. Dunn Joint Venture was recently awarded the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital and Critical Care Pavilion. A low bid of $129 million from Jaynes and J.E. Dunn Construction of Kansas City, MO., included a dozen cost-cutting alternatives to the original design. UNM received three bids for the job.

The 475,000-sq.-ft. pavilion will house UNM Children's Hospital and operating rooms; neonatal intensive care unit; children's emergency department; adult emergency department, urgent care and trauma; adult critical care; and the women's birthing center, postpartum service and well baby nursery.

DCSW of Albuquerque is the project architect.
