We are pleased to announce that the Columbia University School of Nursing has broke ground. Designed by CO|FXFOWLE–a joint venture between CO Architects and FXFOWLE– the new building will be constructed a few blocks from its current facility in the Washington Heights neighborhood in Upper Manhattan. Columbia Nursing's mission of teaching and research, patient care and public service will come together in this state-of-the-art new facility. Among the seven-story structure's many features will be a sunlit atrium lobby, rooftop garden terrace, and a two-floor, state-of-the-art simulation center equipped with lifelike mannequins that imitate real-life medical conditions giving students the opportunity to learn skills in a safe, educational environment. The new building was designed to achieve LEED Silver, and will also feature flexible areas accommodating either large or small group learning, as well as students seeking space for individual study.

Columbia University School of Nursing, founded in 1892, is one of the first nursing schools to offer the clinical practice doctorate, the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. A leader in nursing research, the school also has the nation's oldest continuous program in nurse midwifery.
