Health/Science Complex

Allison was chosen to design a new, 40,000 s.f., two-story nursing and science lab building at Black River Technical College located in Pocahontas. In response to growing demand, the project is the college’s most ambitious building project to date and exhibits the latest design trends in academic and lab design including open, flexible and durable spaces, glass walls and doors for transparency; inviting public spaces for gathering of students for study; and collaboration and energy efficient design.

The building houses the entire nursing department including offices for faculty, computer and teaching labs with compressed video capabilities and nursing simulation labs. In addition, the new building also houses the science department including four new laboratories, supporting preparatory rooms and faculty offices and a greenhouse. The greenhouse includes fans, automatic venting, misting systems, heaters and shades. The greenhouse design and site location allows for future expansion.
