Manahawkin Expansion
Manahawkin Expansion
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ plans to offer more health science programs to students living in Ocean County with the expansion of its Manahawkin site earlier this year.
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ formally dedicated the new 7,915 square-foot expansion to Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ at Manahawkin on March 8. The expanded location, which will serve Â鶹´«Ã½Íøվ’s nursing students, includes a six-bed Foundations of Nursing lab, complete with simulated patients and seven physical assessment examination rooms that are outfitted to look like a professional medical office.
Through a significant donation to the University, Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ was able to acquire additional space and complete renovations at no cost. The additional space will enable the University to extend its offerings for nursing students, and allow for a more hands-on learning experience.
