Lake Sumter State College, New Health Sciences Building

The Health Sciences Building at Lake Sumter State College, Clermont Campus is the seventh iteration of a science and health building design and the second for Lake Sumter State College. The college was able to show a significant expected return on investment (ROI) to reach funding goals.

Cutting edge technology, improved lab space, simulation training environments, and classroom space were included in the design. The new academic environment will provide for a higher quality of training and learning opportunities, which is expected to increase retention rates and therefore increase the numbers of successful graduates. It also provides the highly specialized learning opportunities that will support student achievement of learning outcomes and produce larger numbers of Registered Nurses for the Florida workforce. In addition, the facility gives much needed prep and storage space for the various labs that are housed in it.
