Asbury University is investing in the future of healthcare education through a major renovation of the second floor of Hamann-Ray, creating new spaces that will strengthen the University’s Nursing program and expand opportunities for student learning.
Asbury plans to complete the renovation by Spring 2027. The project will create a modern educational environment that supports hands-on training, collaborative learning, and advanced clinical preparation for nursing students.
The renovated space will include a high-fidelity simulation lab, human anatomy lab and classroom, clinical skills lab, simulation control and debrief room, updated classrooms, faculty offices, and a dedicated student study and conference room. The design will allow students to practice clinical skills, strengthen critical thinking abilities, and gain experience in realistic healthcare environments before entering professional settings.
This renovation is a significant step forward for Asbury students because it provides access to the advanced facilities, technology, and experiential learning opportunities that today's healthcare professionals need to succeed in an increasingly complex medical field.
This project reflects Asbury University’s commitment to preparing healthcare professionals who combine clinical excellence with compassionate, Christ-centered service. Through innovative learning environments and meaningful faculty mentorship, students will continue to develop the knowledge, skills, and character needed to care for patients and serve communities with excellence.
