����ֱ��

����ֱ�� has engaged in a series of renovation projects throughout the year, providing new facilities for student learning and studying. Due to the ����ֱ�� Board of Trustees’ oversight of operations and investment strategies, funding for the projects was achieved without the need for financing.

The following facilities are now open, or will be opening soon:

Anatomy Lab

The addition to the Bowen Building features 1,840 square feet of lab space for ultrasound scanning and cadaveric specimens, including skills/practice labs and regional anesthesia workshops. New equipment provides students more opportunities for hands-on experience and advanced learning. A grand opening with ribbon-cutting ceremony is tentatively scheduled for September.

Student Study Spaces

Renovation of the Bowen Building’s outdoor patio features glass-enclosed, climatecontrolled rooms for all-season study space. In addition, rearranging of staff offices offers additional student study space.

“Martin Family” Board Room

The former Learning Resource Center in the DeVasher Building has been converted into a board room, named for the extended Martin family. The name reflects the contributions made by Board Chairman Vic Martin as well as his sister, Debbie Rose, who worked in ����ֱ��’s financial aid department for many years. In addition, Debbie’s daughter, Melissa Rose Peoples, is an anesthesiologist who has practiced with and educated many ����ֱ�� students in our area. The board room will also be available for student study time.

Technology Upgrades

����ֱ�� has installed new wi-fi coverage and other information technology infrastructure, including a complete overhaul to both classrooms and simulation labs.
