Ivy Tech Community College – Nursing Simulation Lab
Ivy Tech Community College collaborated with Fanning Howey to transform an existing lounge area into a state-of-the-art Nursing Simulation and skills training suite.
The design includes four simulation labs and a central control room, all equipped with the latest simulation and recording technology. The efficient layout created space for three nearby breakout / conference rooms, where students are able to stream video of their simulation lab performance and discuss lessons learned.
The suite design also includes four Nursing skill lab stations. Fanning Howey designers worked with Ivy Tech’s Nursing program leaders throughout the planning and design process.
