Nursing Simulation Laboratory and Classroom

The Nursing Simulation Laboratory, classroom, and conference room renovation at Tallahassee State College’s Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education was delivered by Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects to support the expansion of the Nursing Program. The project transformed portions of the first and second levels, including the adaptive reuse of an existing auditorium, to accommodate modern simulation-based nursing education. The renovation included selective demolition and reconfiguration to create simulation labs, control rooms, debriefing spaces, classrooms, and support areas.

The second level includes approximately 3,500 SF of new simulation spaces and an additional 2,300 SF of renovated nursing labs, debrief rooms, and virtual simulation environments. The first level includes approximately 4,600 SF of renovated classrooms and labs. The facility incorporates advanced simulated headwall units connected to medical gas systems, supporting real-time clinical training. The completed project advances hands-on healthcare education and prepares students for real-world clinical environments through immersive simulation learning.
