On February 1, 2024 Citnalta Construction Corp, Urbahn Architects, Lehman College faculty, and the Bronx District Council celebrated the inauguration of the Lehman College Nursing Education, Research and Practice Center. CUNY Chancellor Dr. Félix V. Matos Rodríguez joined Lehman College President Dr. Fernando Delgado and others to witness the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Citnalta received a temporary certificate of occupancy for the new building on January 8, 2024.
The new 52,289 sq. ft. building simulates a live medical practice facility. A variety of state-of-the-art equipment is included in the new building such as prefabricated headwalls with various integrated medical services including oxygen and vacuums, nurse call systems, and communication ports. There are 40 stations with headwalls, medical gas, medical accessories monitors, microphones, video cameras, and a recording station for playback procedures and review by facility educators. Data ports also provide artificial intelligence-driven simulation mannequins which provide hands-on practical exercises such as birthing, heart attacks and lacerations for the most realistic learning experience.
