University Medical Center New Orleans is a Level I trauma center and teaching hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Ground was broken for the hospital on April 18, 2011. The design was a joint venture between NBBJ and Blitch Knevel Architects. The construction was managed by a joint venture between Skanska USA Building and MAPP Construction.

The 1.1 billion dollar hospital opened on August 1, 2015 as a replacement for Charity Hospital and University Hospital. The hospital is managed by LCMC Health, a private not-for-profit hospital system.

The 2.3 million square-foot hospital features three patient towers with 446-acute care beds including 60 behavioral health beds, 19 operation rooms, 76 pre-op and post-op bays, 56 emergency department exam rooms, nine acute treatment rooms and five trauma rooms. The facility is completely accredited by the Joint Commission of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO).

The hospital is located on 37 acres and critical areas are all situated at least 21 feet above base flood elevation. The facility also features emergency backup power and storm-resistant technology, which will enable it to withstand the impact of a Category 3 major hurricane.
