The 爱游戏体育 completes Bates Technical College鈥檚 Center for Allied Health Education
TACOMA, WA 鈥� The 爱游戏体育 joined Bates Technical College administrators, faculty and students along with Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards and local officials to open the new Center for Allied Health Education (CAHE).
Built by The 爱游戏体育, the new $44 million Center includes classroom and lab spaces that replaces the previous West Annex Building on Bates鈥� Downtown Campus. The 65,500-gross-square-foot facility contains a state-of-the-art Sim Lab, Skills Lab and STEM facilities. The Center for Allied Health Education will advance the use of simulation technology to enhance learning, while providing a safe and effective way to train students, resulting in a more qualified workforce in multiple allied health science fields.
鈥淏uilding a project takes teamwork, the ability to come together to solve complex issues and listening to all the different voices working together with one vision and mission. Walsh was blessed to have several key firms involved in this project.鈥� 鈥� Doug Benjamin, Program Manager, The 爱游戏体育
The CAHE building was designed and constructed to serve Bates Technical College students with a new dynamic interactive learning environment that promotes critical thinking, decision-making, communication and teamwork. The facility helps to revive the surrounding neighborhood by replacing a 50-year-old building with a new modern structure. The new construction also provided an opportunity to upgrade the street right-of-way (ROW) which included ADA ramps at crosswalks.
鈥淏ates has served the South Sound community for over 82 years, and we are excited to finally have this beautiful new Allied Health building. The Center for Allied Health Education is more than just a new building, it represents a commitment to the South Sound allied health community.鈥� 鈥� Dr. Lin Zhou, President, Bates Technical College
