Reporter, Kathy Robertson, covers plans announced by the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis for a $50 million building on the Sacramento campus it shares with the medical school and health system.
The soon-to-be constructed building, Betty Irene Moore Hall, will have collaborative learning spaces rather than traditional classrooms. There will be state-of-the art simulation labs where care scenarios play out on one side — while debriefing rooms on the other side provide a place to discuss decisions made. Plans include an eight-bed hospital ward, skills labs and a 15-room primary-care clinic. Construction will begin in the next few months.
Associate vice chancellor and founding dean, Heather Young shares “We need a building to support both our growing research and education programs and to sustain our vision of innovation far into the future.”
The nursing school was founded in 2009, backed with a $100 million commitment from the foundation. Currently, the school offers four graduate-level programs in nursing science and health-care leadership. A fifth, a master’s degree program, is expected to enroll its first class in 2016. Full enrollment at the school — about 420 students — is expected by 2022.
