Rose State College needed to meet the growing enrollment and popularity of its health sciences programs with a new, larger facility. Benham was selected by the Rose State College Board of Regents to provide architectural, engineering, and design services for the new Health Science Center. The new facility is a 47,000 square foot, single-story building designed for teaching and training students in the provision of health services. The facility includes space to accommodate the following teaching activities:

•  Nursing
•  Radiologic technology
•  Respiratory therapy
•  Clinical laboratory technology
•  Health information technology
•  Basic health science courses

Benham worked with all stakeholders to include their functional requirements as well as requirements dictated both by educational facility standards and medical training standards. Benham mirrored high-quality hospitals’ and clinics’ architecture and engineering specifications for construction and materials to produce the same quality in medical training areas in the new facility.
