School of Nursing & Health Sciences

Demolition of Reichhold Hall has taken place, and the construction of the new home for the School of Nursing & Health Sciences will begin in 2023. This new facility and simulation center will help support growing enrollment, simulate patient-care units, increase laboratory and simulation offerings and provide a centralized location for health sciences programs and faculty.

To date, the college has raised over $12.5 million, including $1.5 million in federal funding thanks to the advocacy of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. The monies will be used to construct the 20,500-square-foot facility, which will integrate state-of-the-art technology into its classrooms and laboratories. The anticipated opening is set for 2024.

The new building will house an expanding list of programs in nursing and health sciences, including:

• B.S. in nursing

• B.S. in exercise science

• B.S. in health science

• B.S. in public health

• Registered nurse (RN) to B.S. in nursing
