Greenville Technical College in Greenville, South Carolina, has officially opened its latest building, a $69 million health and life science facility.
The college says that the 137,000-square-foot Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences is the largest facility on any of the college’s four campuses and four special educational centers.
The facility has been named the Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences thanks to a $1.5 million gift from the health care organization.
Learning spaces include an Anatomage Lab with virtual dissection tables and suites for medical imaging, ultrasound, radiological technology, and more.
A learning-on-display concept inspired many of the facility’s architectural details. The building’s pipes, duct work, and other infrastructure are exposed so that students, staff, and visitors can see the facility’s inner works.
A think tank room is designed for brainstorming and planning. The room features lounge seating, a touch screen wall, and glass whiteboards.
Spaces invite students to come together between classes with stations where they can study, places where they can collaborate, lounges where they can gather, and a cafe where they can grab a beverage or enjoy a meal.
The architects are McMillan Pazdan Smith and JMZ Architects | Planners. The builder is Harper General Contractors.
