It offers state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories and features, in partnership with the Parkview Mirro Center, an innovative Simulated Patient Care Center (SimCenter) including mock surgery and Emergency Room suites and exam and patient rooms. Parkview will use the SimCenter and other facilities in the BCHP for training its staff.The building also contains resources for student support, including a library, gathering area, academic support and counseling services. The new $42.5 million facility, which eventually will employ 100 faculty and staff and serve nearly 700 students, is home to Trine's programs in physical therapy, physician assistant studies, occupational therapy and surgical technology. Additional degree programs are planned.
