Casper College Health Science Simulation Lab
This project entailed renovating very odd shaped classrooms, located in an octagon shaped pod, and turning them into simulation labs for the School of Health Science at Casper College. The space includes four lab simulators, two control rooms, two medication areas and a storage room. The facility is used by students within all 8 School of Health Science Programs: Medical Laboratory Technician, Nursing, Pharmacy Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Paramedic Technology, Physical Education, and Radiography.
Some of the furnishings incorporated into the facility include: high-fidelity human patient simulators which can represent a host of medical conditions from a cough to giving birth, a Pyxis MedStation™ automated medication dispensing system, hospital beds and headwalls.
Description
The project was completed in 2013 with much of the construction work performed by Casper College Facilities Operations staff.
