The University of Texas at Arlington has a new School of Social Work & Smart Hospital for the College of Nursing and Health Innovation designed by SmithGroup and built by Turner Construction.

The 150,000-square-foot building features a virtual reality lab, a classroom set up like an apartment where students can practice hospice care and at-home nursing, and a counseling center. The Smart Hospital, which includes hospital rooms with robotic mannequins that simulate medical emergencies, includes a simulation theater. These features place students in critical simulation-based learning activities which will prepare them for the workforce.
