University Tower

Adjacent to UCF’s main campus, the College of Nursing is located in the heart of Central Florida Research Park and occupies three floors in University Tower. All guests should check-in with the receptionist on the third floor.

With private study cubicles, student lounges and beautiful views of the Central Florida skyline, our facilities set us apart even from other colleges at the university. A Tropical Smoothie Café with an outdoor patio and vending machines can be found on the first floor.

Central Florida Research Park

Research Park, as it’s more commonly known, is a ‘campus-like’ environment with businesses ranging from digital communications to military defense. It is the nation’s largest cluster of military training companies and many of the employees in Research Park work with UCF researchers and students on projects in the sciences, engineering, photonics and optics, modeling and simulation, and health- related fields including nursing.

Classrooms

During the learning process, the student is heavily influenced by the environment. Knowing this, we have designed our classrooms for maximum comfort and minimum interference while being outfitted with the latest technology.

One classroom has 40 seats with a smart board. Another has 87 seats with dual projection screens, providing excellent access to presentations. Our largest classroom has 144 seats.

Not the stuffy rooms found in other colleges, these modern smart-classrooms have great tree-lined views of the surrounding area. You will love learning here.

Simulation Suite

Students will prepare for a real hospital setting in the Simulation Suite. The suite features a floor desk, three fully functional simulation rooms, a Pyxis automated medicine dispenser and a crash cart.

Within each room is a highly responsive manikin, some of which can sweat and even dilate their eyes. The manikin is nursed by a team of students while the instructor can control and provide a voice for the simulated patient in a nearby room. Simulations can be recorded for learning purposes.

After a simulated procedure, students report to a nearby debriefing room where the instructor provides valuable insight on how they managed the patient experience. This allows students to learn and make mistakes in a safe environment, with the aid of a minute-by-minute video review.
