Expanding student experiences and growing allied health and sciences programs
Founded in 1909, Lamar State College Port Arthur (LSCPA) is a well-established two-year college in Southeast Texas. Over that time, LSCPA has continue to grow their offerings. Their current focus is on expanding their allied health and sciences programs into a new facility, instead of adapting existing buildings averaging 60 years in age. They reached out to our academic science architecture and interior design team to help.
Our design centers around modern instructional skills labs and simulation spaces for the Allied Health Department. Located at the top of the facility, the simulation suite contains three adult care beds, an intensive care unit bed, and an obstetrics pediatric room, all surrounding a nurse station with medication room.
The building will also house all of LSCPA’s science programs. This required us to tailor the 32 lab spaces to meet the needs of anatomy and physiology, chemistry, physical science, biology, and microbiology, as well as allied health programs. We are also designing office spaces for the Allied Health Department chair and administrative personnel.
When complete, the new building will offer expanded opportunities to current and future students who attend LSCPA.
