Expanding a healthcare simulation center

Johns Hopkins facility growing to meet demand


Johns Hopkins is expanding its simulation center to meet increased demand, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The 11,000-square-foot Johns Hopkins Simulation Center, built in 2008, houses training programs and technology including a simulated operating room, two intensive care patient rooms, 12 standardized patient rooms with central observation area and dual circulation, and a modular classroom.

To meet growing demand and stay current with technology, the director of the simulation center reached out to Johns Hopkins’ facilities design and construction teams about planning its next phase.

The first part of the expansion will add a “sim hospital,” with a full nursing unit, including such patient room types as a trauma room, med-surg inpatient room, labor and delivery room, and rooms that can flex between a med-surg and an intensive care room.
