Simulation Laboratory
The project scope included demolition of 3 existing classrooms and 1 conference room, construction management and the build-out of the new state-of-the-art 4,525 sq ft training facility, housing a new conference room, control room, kitchen, and 2 storage areas to hold compressors which power mannequins through air lines hidden within the walls. The training center uses lifelike mannequins that are programmed through computers in the control room to simulate cardiac arrest, as well as an assortment of other traumatic experiences to train student nurses in emergency situations.
Occupational Therapy Assistant Laboratory
Phase II of the project involved converting an average empty classroom into the new Occupational Therapy Assistant Laboratory, complete with a bathroom, kitchen with custom mill-work, storage room, and a training station equipped with a gantry lift and vestibular swing, which required adding structural members to the existing joists in the ceiling.
