Multi-Purpose Lab

Space/Equipment:

Size:

• 125m² (1345 sq ft)
  

Special Features:

• A descending room divider can create acoustical isolation
• Curtains can be used to subdivide room into four spaces
• Can be connected to the immersive lab, allowing for all staging aspects of a major disaster
• Two independently functioning control rooms

Equipment:

While the flexibility of this space will be maintained there is some fixed equipment:

• Four headwalls with operational gasses to support four concurrent simulations
• Electrical raceway around the perimeter of the lab
• Ceiling-mounted receptacles in the piped framework
• The opening ceiling accommodates specialty lighting and additional structure for hanging medical equipment

AV/IT:

• Input Sources
  • IP based PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) cameras at each of four stations
• Sound
  • Ceiling mounted loudspeakers located in each lab
  • Ceiling mounted boundary style microphone located for each of four stations
• B-Line Medical SimCapture Technology
• Revo-Mics (wireless 2-way voice devices that facilitate the flow of information between off-stage faculty in a control or observation room and on-stage Embedded Simulated Persons, aka "Confederates")
• Additional
  • Christie LW650 projector and retractable screen

Potential Educational and Research Activities

This team-based training laboratory can simulate any large-scale care environment (e.g., crash scene, hospital ward during a disease pandemic). The space can be divided to create four smaller spaces allowing concurrent activities. (e.g., bootcamps for specialities such as surgery, emergency, critical care, and team challenges).
