The Skiles Group contracting firm in Richardson has now completed construction on the south building and students are able to use the state-ofthe-art technology and latest industry innovations at that location. The new features include more than 25,000 square feet of learning space filled with electronic resources, bookstore necessities, dining options and learning spaces. Once a location for offices, the south building is now a structure for students that offers a customizable learning environment offering a learning resources hub with programming, bones, models, tutoring support, collaborative study areas and much more. It includes virtual reality clinical simulations with task trainer mannequins for students to practice physical examination skills. A Force Sensing Table Technology lab has six tables for immediate and objective feedback on students’ abilities to deliver a chiropractic adjustment. For more information, visit Parker.edu.
