The Heartland Whole Health project is a one-of-a-kind development in Bentonville, Arkansas that unites the disciplines of art, architecture, and wellness to create a space that nourishes both body and spirit. Designed as a community-centered facility, Heartland Whole Health offers integrated medical services alongside spaces for artistic expression, mindfulness, and connection.
This innovative facility, envisioned by Marlon Blackwell Architects, reflects a growing movement toward holistic community care, one that treats wellness as a shared and multidimensional experience. From curated local art displays to thoughtfully designed meditation and movement spaces, every element of the building encourages healing and creativity.
ACE Glass partnered with Baldwin & Shell Construction to deliver the building’s striking transparency and light-filled interiors. Our scope included custom curtain wall systems, high-performance storefront glazing, and precision-crafted interior glass elements. These features not only enhance the building’s visual impact but also support its mission by inviting natural light and creating a calming atmosphere throughout.
More than just a healthcare facility, Heartland Whole Health is a cultural landmark, a testament to what’s possible when wellness and the arts are placed at the heart of community design. ACE Glass is proud to have contributed to this transformative project in collaboration with a visionary project team.

UAMS has updated its facility to provide the latest in patient care, including private neonatal intensive care rooms, interventional radiology and an emergency department built to handle large-scale disasters and public health emergencies.
HKS Inc., Dallas, served as lead design firm for the project, with architect of record Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects, Little Rock. The design takes its cues from the true modernist flavor of the medical center’s original midcentury buildings, says Kyley Harvey, AIA, practice leader, HKS. The stylistic patterns of the original facility are reflected in the uninterrupted lines of the new building’s stair towers, brickwork and glazing. This approach is carried through in the clean details of the interior design, like the simple horizontal lines of the pendant lighting fixtures in the lobby.
