Complete Story
The new 155,000-sf school in downtown Baltimore incorporates advanced classroom and laboratory design, sophisticated distance learning communications technology, and a model, nurse-managed primary care clinic. Research space for clinical, behavioral, health policy, and health services make up more than one-third of the facility. Basic biological and physiological research is practiced in the wet laboratories within the building. A 450-seat auditorium provides a larger venue for teaching and guest speaker presentations.
The distance learning communications technology sets a new standard for nursing education: full-motion, broadcast-quality video to reach and teach students interactively at every corner of the state; nursing informatics laboratories; computer-assisted instruction laboratories; and clinic simulation laboratories.
Classrooms featuring touch-panel controls for videotape recorders, data projectors, and document cameras facilitate teaching through computer technology. Preclinical simulation laboratories place students in actual clinical settings, such as trauma, critical care, wellness clinics, and a neonatal and birthing room, to deal with common problems and emergencies. "Intelligent" mannequins and computer technology create virtual reality learning experiences.
