Norfolk State University’s new Nursing and Academic Building offers four floors dedicated to allied health, nursing, and academic instruction. The building’s first two floors offer liberal arts and graduate students a variety of classrooms and labs. Meeting, study rooms, and a coffee shop offer options for group collaboration. The Nursing and Allied Health programs occupy the top two levels of the 140,000-square-foot building. Specialized simulation labs and interview rooms offer students valuable clinical education experience. The facility also includes a tutorial center as well as dean and faculty offices.

The project earned LEED Gold certification in 2016.
