Randolph Community College Celebrates Ground Breaking

Randolph Community College in Asheboro, NC, recently celebrated a ground breaking for its new Allied Health Center.

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.

Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
