Growing higher educational programs are always interested in adding physical facilities to their campus. Many times the initial plans do not include all the technology details needed for either a standard or a cutting-edge program. This paper describes planning and implementation efforts at the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, which has resulted in a new 29,947-square-foot facility addition. The new space includes a complete floor designated as simulation laboratory space, an interactive classroom with five screens suitable for small group interaction, and a virtual classroom for cutting- edge multimedia production and transmission. Additional floors house both technology rich seminar meeting rooms as well as collaborative offices. All spaces are integrated using the innovative Crestron control system, including a multitude of their solutions that help to make this a smarter workplace that is both secure, smart, and worthy of completing educational goals.
