The facility will feature exam rooms, a surgical room, an ICU room, and a maternity room. There will also be simulated waiting areas for ER students and a simulated apartment for EMT students to practice in.

Instructors will be able to use the new space to evaluate student performance during and after simulated incidents. The Allied Health Center is expected to be a cornerstone in the community and provide graduates for high-demand healthcare jobs in the region.
