The rapidly growing IU-SE Nursing Department underwent a complete transformation and expansion of their simulation laboratories. This expansion allowed the school to offer a large, twelve bed basic skills lab and create three dedicated high-fidelity simulation labs for sophisticated interactive mannequins.

Donor Wall

Entering the space, a paneled resin feature wall was designed to showcase the main project donors, which creates a bold entrance sequence. The same finishes are brought into the skills lab where the main circulation path is defined and terminated on an accent training wall.

Training for Professionalism

Flanking each side of the skills lab area, is a raceway for power and simulated medical gasses specified to allow equipment to move over time. Professionalism and flexibility were driving factors in this transformation that will allow IU-SE to adapt to changing trends and technologies.
