Child Study Center
The UAMS Department of Psychiatry Child Study Center was originally built to provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and mental health services and educational services for children and adolescents across Arkansas in a classroom setting for children from the three school districts in Pulaski County.
The program quickly outgrew the building and was moved to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in 1988, though it remains under the UAMS Department of Psychiatry. Since then, the building, which continued to be called the Child Study Center, housed the Department of Psychiatry administrative offices as well as several other programs.
This building added 21,852 square feet to patient care. It was torn down in 2006 to make way for the hospital addition. The tennis courts, visible at the bottom of the photo, were later removed to make room for the Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI).
