Orange, CT – The Yale School of Nursing is celebrating the opening of its new Simulation Lab and classroom expansion in West Haven,  with facilities designed by architecture, art and advisory firm Svigals + Partners. 

Construction manager Shawmut Design and Construction, has transformed  the $5 million project, with more than 8,000sf of space in less than one year.

 
The teaching center design integrates two new classrooms with a primary care assessment lab as well as six standardized patient examination rooms. It also offers a one-bedroom apartment layout, used for home-care simulation. Additional upgrades went toward improving the Center for Biobehavioral Health Research and a café on the first floor of the Yale building.
