Nursing Simulation Laboratory And Classroom

Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects provided a new nursing training experience for nursing students at Florida A&M University. The project transformed an abandoned anatomy lab and classroom spaces into a state-of-the-art nursing simulation facility designed to support modern nursing education through immersive, technology-driven learning environments.

The renovated space was reconfigured into a fully integrated simulation center featuring simulation rooms, a centralized control room with direct observation into each lab, a debrief room, IT room, storage, and accessible support facilities. Flexible folding partitions allow the simulation labs to adapt between group and individual instructional settings. The project also included ADA improvements, new interior finishes, exterior branding upgrades at key entrances, and the addition of an ADA-compliant ramp with improved circulation paths to enhance campus connectivity and safety. The completed facility strengthens experiential learning opportunities while improving accessibility, flexibility, and overall programmatic efficiency.
