The Children's Psychiatric Center is currently adding new facilities, and construction is expected to be completed in 2026.
- The new 32,500 sq. ft. CPC is designed to be able to go up to 52 beds, however it will have 36 available beds initially.
- New CPC will include a 4 bed unit to handle extremely complex high acuity patients, which is a feature UNM Hospital has never had previously.
- Inpatient care will be consolidated into one building, instead of four cottages.
- Three cottages will remain open and operational during construction, temporarily reducing inpatient capacity from 36 to 27.
- New campus exterior will include three patient courtyards with play equipment and increased privacy for the patients.
