PROJECT SCOPE: This building will offer a Learning Resource and Simulation Center, which will provide a full range of simulation and immersive activities, from task trainers to teach specific procedures and skills to high fidelity computerized mannequins that look, act, feel, and respond like living human beings. The center will include: two computer labs; two large nursing skills lab each containing hospital beds with functioning headwalls and a teaching space; a storage area between the skills lab; a nursing station with computerized charting and ordering system and a medication delivery system that can be accessed from both large nursing skills labs; a smaller lab to teach physical assessment; exam rooms to mimic the reality of a hospital room environment and allow small group simulated experiences leaving the larger labs open for other types of learning experiences; and two observation rooms so that a technician can run the simulation mannequins out of site of students, which will improve the realism of the simulated experiences.
