This building is the first student-occupied facility on the Wake Tech Community College Eastern Wake 4.0 Campus. It draws both students and first responders performing continuing training. The heart of the facility is an indoor simulation village for first responder real-life scenarios and de-escalation training. It includes simulated bank and retail spaces, school environment, a two-story townhome, hotel with bar and restaurant. There is also a two-story corrections pod facilitates training scenarios for public safety and detention personnel.
The building also holds a drone lab, allowing the school to integrate new program capabilities. This environment supports multiple industry capabilities, with indoor drone training and fabrication capabilities.
