The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) recently held a ceremony to celebrate the groundbreaking of its new Nursing and Instructional Building. The180,000-square-foot facility is being made possible thanks to state funding from the Connect NC Bond.
Chanceller Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. tells NewsandFeatures.UNCG.edu, “The groundbreaking of the Nursing and Instructional Building is a Giant Step — it’s a long-awaited moment not just for the campus community, but for the state. What happens inside the building will impact the health and wellness of communities across the state.”
The UNCG School of Nursing is currently located in four buildings and will occupy 50 percent of the new $105 million building once completed. The facility will also provide teaching and classroom space, as well as flexible laboratory research space for the School of Health and Human Sciences. In total, the building will house 39 labs, 14 classrooms, 9 research suites, and a community engagement center.
North Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and several representatives from the North Carolina legislature attended the event to celebrate UNCG’s new building which will better prepare students in the nursing and STEM fields. To learn more about the groundbreaking ceremony, visit here.
