Nursing Simulation Lab & Student Wellness Center

Emmanuel College

Description

When Emmanuel College added a B.S. in Nursing to their educational programming, they needed a new state of the art Nursing Simulation Lab and they needed it complete before their inaugural nursing class arrived on campus, no excuses. G. Greene worked shoulder to shoulder with Emmanuel from the advent of the project. We provided conceptual budgeting while design documents were underway, streamlining the pre-construction process.

Approach

• Coordinated MEP work and tie-ins to keep the cafeteria located on the floor below fully operational
• Worked with the Design Team to provide practical, cost effective solutions to concealed existing conditions including unknown MEPs feeding other spaces, structural elements, and bringing fire ratings up to code
• Expedited the Certificate of Occupancy during the COVID 19 shutdown. C of O was delivered on time and new nursing students utilized the new lab space upon arrival

Results

• Relocated and fit out the Campus Bookstore and nearby dorm, enabling construction on Nursing Lab to begin
• Craned in new HVAC rooftop unit
• Installed intricate millwork headwalls complete with compressed air and simulated oxygen
• Transformed 10,568 sq ft of old office and retail space into a new Nursing Simulation Lab and Student Wellness Center
