The Clinical Simulation Lab (CSL) utilizes a major area of the first floor of the College of Nursing in the Williams-Brice Building. This facility features an open classroom area which will seat approximately 40 students for classroom syle learning through group simulation and advanced audio/visual presentation. In addition, there are four individual simulation suites. These have the capacity for groups of 5-6 for simulation experiences that replicate the hospital/clinical environment. The lab hosts a a hospital-like setting including beds with head wall units that house suction and oxygen, exam tables, task trainers, and high fidelity manikins. There is also a small, private meeting/debriefing room designed for a group of 5-6 people. The combination of these items provides for an up-to-date teaching environment
