Middlesex Community College opened a state-of-the-art simulation and skills laboratory for students in its nursing associate degree and licensed practical nursing programs. Vantage was hired for the 7,345-SF buildout by MCC and NV5, which served as OPM. The training facility replicates a working, active hospital setting, and features two nursing command stations, 26 hospital beds, eight examination rooms, and cribs for pediatric training. The new nursing labs include simulation mannequins capable of registering pulse, blood pressure readings and even the delivery of an infant. The Vantage team installed all new framing, electrical power wiring, data cabling, plumbing, and fire protection as well as a new revamped HVAC system. The training center features all new flooring, custom millwork, lighting and ACT ceiling, and built two new bathrooms on the second floor. The team worked under a tight deadline, to help get the buildout complete in time for classes.
