Nicklaus Children’s Health System (NCHS) has selected NV2A to lead the healthcare construction of the new Lab Relocation project at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. As part of a strategic campus improvement initiative, the project will consolidate multiple laboratory departments—currently dispersed across various buildings—into a single, modern facility designed to support clinical excellence and future growth.

This centralized laboratory hub will enhance operational efficiency, streamline workflows, and expand the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities. The new space will include a Core Lab, Microbiology, Molecular Pathology, Surgical Pathology, Blood Bank, Central Processing, Point of Care Testing, and Administrative Offices. NV2A is proud to bring its healthcare construction expertise to support NCHS’s mission of delivering world-class pediatric care.
