OSU-COM is starting construction on a new facility for the medical students. As a current student, it's unfortunate that it will not be completed in time for me to enjoy the simulation labs, but thought that the SDN community would enjoy learning that OSU-COM will soon become a premier medical academic center with it's own affiliated academic teaching hospital that has recently experienced large growth and flourishing under the Mercy Health System's management.
"Preliminary construction work will begin Monday to make way for the new Medical Academic and Simulation Center and an adjoining parking garage on the OSU-CHS campus.
Workers will place temporary fencing around the perimeter of the construction site. Access to the fenced off areas will be restricted to authorized construction personnel. A temporary access road to the construction site headquarters will be built on the north side of campus near the railroad tracks.
Phase I of the project includes the installation of a temporary parking lot on Lesion Field and a new parking lot by the west entrance to campus. Officials overseeing the project expect the parking lot installations to take approximately three months. Students, faculty and staff will continue to use existing parking during Phase I. The access road linking Lots A and B with 17th Street will be blocked until construction of the new lot is completed.
The four-story, 223,000-square-foot Medical Academic and Simulation Center will include a hospital simulation lab, with an emergency room, operating room, intensive care unit, birthing suite and ambulance bay. Plans also call for expanded clinical skills labs, a new osteopathic manipulative medicine lab, classrooms, lecture hall, conference facilities and student study space.
The new building will be constructed on the northwest corner of campus. The five-story parking garage adjoining the facility will provide additional parking spaces once the project is completed."
