The building is 65,500 square feet and contains a state-of-the-art sim lab, skills lab and STEM facilities. The goal of the building is to advance the use of simulation technology to enhance learning, provide a safe and effective way to train students, and develop a more qualified workforce in a number of allied health-science fields.
