The construction project focuses on the significant need to redesign and renovate a critical science lab used by Allied Health students. The lab renovation will serve students training for the following professions and academic tracks: LPN, RN, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Radiation Technology, Surgical Technology, Healthcare Technology, and Medical Assisting Certificate and Associate degree programs. Project Objective: The project will upgrade lab space for students and provide new and updated lab equipment and furnishings for Allied Health and STEM students, the majori ty of who are first-generation and under-represented in higher education and STEM fields in general. The project will facilitate collaborative learning, flexible classroom layout, new storage space and teaching aids. The overall objective is to ensure access to modernized lab space to achieve equity and access for NSCC’s diverse student body to support academic and career success while meeting regional workforce needs. Project Plan: Planning for the renovation project began in 2021. Construction is expected to be completed in August 2023.
