Perkins Eastman designed the University of North Carolina's new School of Nursing in Wilmington. The facility features informal gathering spaces, a 250-seat auditorium, classrooms, and unique lifelike simulation labs with observation spaces and distance learning capabilities.
The Simulation Learning Center (SLC) utilizes high, medium, and low fidelity human patient simulators and standardized patients for nursing education. Expert nurse clinicians lead students through realistic patient scenarios, enhancing clinical skills, communication, and critical thinking across the nursing continuum. Undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Health and Human Services benefit from evidence-based simulation scenarios, while nurse practitioner students use the lab for advanced assessments and skills practice.
