South Decatur Jr./Sr. High School’s phased renovations have transformed the campus into a modern, inspiring environment that supports career training, academics, athletics, and the arts.
Project Details
Nursing Simulation Lab
Designed to support hands-on medical education, the new Nursing Lab integrates advanced simulation technology, adaptable learning environments, and specialized teaching spaces to enhance training and learning for students. A dedicated classroom space is located adjacent to the lab, allowing classes to transition easily between classroom instruction and hands-on learning.
The new spaces prioritize functionality, flexibility, and realism. Key elements include high-fidelity simulation rooms, observation areas with integrated AV systems, and modular lab spaces that can be reconfigured for various training scenarios. Upgraded mechanical and electrical systems were implemented to meet the technical demands of medical simulation equipment.
