The University plans to renovate the five floors to accommodate new classrooms, laboratories, and a clinic. There will be six classrooms new classrooms to increase the school’s capacity from 310 students to over 600. Experiential laboratories will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities such as life-like patient simulators.
The new clinic will be located on the first floor of the building to service the public. It will be called the Hurricane Health Clinic and will offer general health services to all. Some of the services include rehabilitation, wellness, primary and preventative care, mental health, and even legal services. University students and staff will also work at the clinic.
