Southwestern Community College

Health Science Building

This modern new building was built to expand and upgrade the existing nursing program. The new facility accommodates programs including nursing, occupational therapy, emergency medical science, medical sonography, surgical technology, opticianry, radiology, and speech-language pathology.

The three-story building provides technology-rich simulation training suites, teaching labs, classrooms, offices and support spaces. This new Center includes several community clinics such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sonography on the first floor.

Unique to the clinical expansion experience is the addition of a hand therapy lab and pediatric therapy gym. The Emergency Medical Science program – with a full-size simulation ambulance – is also located on the first floor.

The mechanical systems are located in an adjacent building and the project team performed upgrades for the current system to service both buildings.
