School of Nursing

Located on a prominent traffic intersection, the School of Nursing occupies an existing two-story structure that was completely modernized and received a major building addition.  Housing comprehensive graduate and undergraduate nursing programs, the building includes two nursing skills labs (each with 10 bed stations), simulation lab (5 bed stations) with supervising control room, computer lab for 40 students, and faculty offices.  The project was designed and constructed to provide “real-life, hands-on” nursing training.

The simulation lab incorporates the latest technologies utilizing computerized manikins to simulate real-life patients and accurate medical symptoms.  The entire lab, simulation manikins, and the attending students are viewed through multiple video cameras and supervised via one-way glass panels and audio systems.  The bed stations throughout the facility accurately represent state-of-the-art hospital bed arrangements complete with electronics and utility connections.
