Educational Facilities

The College occupies 26,320 square feet of the existing 48,781 square feet contained in the building. The north end of the second-floor houses eight (8) classrooms with storage rooms, three (3) clinical labs with storage, and one (1) computer lab with 31 computers and networked printers. Every classroom is equipped with SMART Boards, large screen televisions, bulletin boards, and lecterns. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. The clinical laboratories at SCHS are environments of care used for individual students and classes that are as closely replicated to actual patient care environments as possible. These laboratories are equipped with manikins, equipment, and supplies that assist students with developing expertise in delivery of “hands-on” competencies. The new Clinical Simulation & Learning Center (CSLC) is located in Suite 121 on the first floor of the College. The CSLC consist of two distinct areas, the skills lab and the health assessment lab. The eight-bed Nursing skills lab is fully equipped with a variety of manikins and equipment used is patient care, and the eight bay health assessment lab is set up with exam tables and the equipment needed for patient assessment. The second part of the CSLC consists of the simulation hospital. This area mirrors a floor on an acute care setting. Entering the simulation hospital, you will encounter a nurse’s station complete with medication dispensing machine, computers, printer, and glucometers. There are four high fidelity rooms and two control rooms where the facilitators and technicians will control the flow of the simulation-based learning events. These high-fidelity rooms include two adult rooms, a pediatric room and an obstetrical room. There are two exam rooms set up to mirror a physician’s office, and four debriefing rooms. All of the rooms in the simulation hospital are equipped with video capture equipment for recording educational activities for later review. A large storage room provides storage for equipment and supplies used in demonstration/return demonstration of student skills, and critical thinking high fidelity scenarios.

There are two Radiography Labs with stationary radiography equipment, a portable x-ray unit, a c-arm, and a Virtual Reality (VR) station. A large screen television is in each lab. The Sonography laboratory is well equipped and designed to emulate a diagnostic ultrasound room as seen in the hospital and clinical setting. The lab is equipped with four stations and three sonography machines and integrates hospital designed stretchers, gel warmers, and ultrasound units at each workstation. In addition, the laboratory is well-appointed with phantoms representing various abnormalities to help increase the students’ training skills as well as a television which allows the students to view real-time scanning during laboratory sessions. The SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution is incorporated within lab activities which provides real patient cases and pathologies. The student center is located in the middle of the second floor between the instruction side (north) and the faculty/staff offices. The center has several tables and chairs, two microwaves, a refrigerator, sink and a large screen television. Students may eat in the area and relax between classes. There is electrical access for students to use a computer or other electronic devices in the area.

The south end of the building contains faculty, staff, and administrative offices, three conference rooms, a faculty/staff break room, and a secure file room.

Building access hours for the academic year are posted on the College website, schs.edu, and are updated regularly. Student access to the SCHS campus is through their school-issued badges and is limited to 7am through 5pm, Monday through Fridays. During the summer and school breaks, students are given limited access to the building using their badge. Outside of these hours, students are required to enter through the main entrance. If necessary, the Building Operations Manager in collaboration with the appropriate College leaders may adjust building hours to better suit a specific need(s). After-hours access to the SCHS building is limited to faculty, staff, students, and contractors who have been properly authorized in advance to enter a given building or set of buildings.
