HEALTH SCIENCE BUILDINGS

HEALTH SCIENCE BUILDINGS

Having designed numerous Health Science Buildings for a variety of Colleges and Universities throughout the country, Little understands that each community and institution has very different programmatic requirements with diverse budgets. The following projects help illuminate various types of Health Science facilities and the programs, equipment needs and budgets of each to help you explore your future Health Science projects.

Little has a dedicated team of experts who can help you program your project as well as share stories of other successful projects, helping you create the right approach and solution for your campus.

CURRICULUM & COST

Most health science programs rely heavily on simulation equipment, manikins, and skills trainers as the backbone of the curriculum. This world of simulation equipment can be daunting, but, as design professionals, we can help guide this process.

In a construction project, there are “hard” construction costs and “soft” costs. The hard costs include the land, the contractor fees, and the actual building materials and labor. The soft costs include almost everything else: permit fees, furniture, audio visual equipment, IT, etc. Also included as a soft cost is the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) associated with the simulation equipment and furniture needed for teaching labs. The quicker the owner, design team, and other partners can reach an accurate cost for this equipment, the better as often soft costs on health science facilities can be more than a typical building.

With this in mind, it’s critical that the FF&E cost be identified early to ensure the budget for both soft and hard costs will be accurate.

A successful building gets enough “hard” costs to be built well and beautifully designed, and the interior of the building gets enough of the “soft” costs to train, produce successful programs, and provide nice places for students to study and relax. Also, large changes in the furniture, fixtures, and equipment during construction can equate to challenges with time and budget if not planned correctly, so the goal is to plan early.

This diagram gives a rough idea of relative costs of certain simulation equipment.

UNC CHAPEL HILL CARRINGTON HALL

School of Nursing

160,836 sf

The re-envisioned Carrington Hall represents the balance of the scientific foundation of knowledge with the caring nature and community of nursing. In optimizing an environment for learning and success, the building will unify the School of Nursing and physically and metaphorically light the way for the future leaders of tomorrow.

HAYWOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Health Sciences Education Building 14,500 sf

The new Health Sciences Education building at Haywood Community College features advanced technology, including a high-fidelity simulation lab that mimics a real hospital unit where nursing students engage in handson training with lifelike mannequins, simulating diverse medical scenarios. This controlled environment allows for repeated practice and error correction, providing valuable learning experiences.

In addition to the simulation lab, the state-of-theart facility boasts a skills lab, biology lab, and an elevated lecture hall. The emphasis on interior-exterior connectivity, daylighting, and a philosophy of learning everywhere positions this building as a beacon for nursing education in North Carolina, representing a significant step toward meeting healthcare demands in the region.
