New Health Sciences Building Offers Students State-of-the-Art, Hands-on Learning

In November 2020, Assumption completed construction of the 41,000-square-foot Health Sciences Building, a three-story building with a number of state-of-the-art teaching facilities equipped with the latest training tools to benefit those in the Froelich School of Nursing, School of Health Professions, and a number of other departments and majors. The nursing floor (pictured below) features a large nursing skills lab with seven full-sized hospital beds for teaching patient care, as well as four simulation labs with high-fidelity mannequins that simulate actual patient conditions that can be controlled remotely by a simulation lab technician.

Four state-of-the-art classrooms were designed for active learning in a realistic clinical environment, and a number of spacious study areas, conference rooms, and lounges located throughout the building encourage collaboration.
