PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The University of Tennessee's new UT Medical Nursing Building is located on the corner of Volunteer Boulevard and Peyton Manning Pass. It is a 117,000 s.f. building designed to be a catalyst for optimizing health through nurse-led care by integrating education, practice, research, and technology.

McCarty Holsaple McCarty, Inc., in collaboration with Ayers Saint Gross Architecture, PC, designed this 4-story facility to support a wide range of areas, including multidisciplinary project teams, flexible laboratory spaces, classrooms, student spaces, clinical training skills, nursing simulations, and administrative offices. The building offers a flexible learning environment that accommodates the learner’s needs and incorporates the school’s holistic, diverse, and caring themes.

The building was specifically designed for flexible and adaptable teaching and simulation needs, and to promote the multidisciplinary nature of post-delivery. Levels 1 and 2 comprise general-purpose classrooms/teaching spaces, including a tiered classroom and a flexible multipurpose classroom that can be easily adapted from smaller to larger classrooms.

Level 3 is the headquarters for the clinical skills and simulation labs. These cutting-edge labs are designed to promote maximum collaboration and innovative learning pedagogies. The use of laboratories, open laboratories, and learning collaboration spaces throughout the New Nursing Building provides a state-of-the-art education facility that responds to the increasing complexity of healthcare delivery and the changing and expanding role of nurses and healthcare professionals.
