VIU opens new health centre, expands space for trades

Vancouver Island University showcased its new Health and Science Centre this week, as well as upgrades to its existing Marine, Automotive, and Trades Complex. Nanaimo News Bulletin states that the Health and Science Centre features electronic patient simulators and lab spaces that replicate critical care, home care, and emergency room care settings. A VIU release adds that the expansion to the trades complex will facilitate the equivalent of 128 full-time student spaces while meeting the needs of industries and employers in motorcycle mechanic, marine mechanic, heavy mechanical trades, and carpentry programs, including an Indigenous construction program. Nanaimo Bulletin | VIU
