This new 16,000 square foot building will expand, enhance and modernize the student experience while supplying critical healthcare professionals for the region. It will include an 85-seat lecture hall, 40-seat biology lab, 60-seat classroom, 8-bed skills lab and 8-bed simulation lab.
“This vision began a number of years ago as we saw the need for additional facilities for nursing and health sciences,” said HCC Board of Trustees Chairman George Marshall. “We thank the Haywood Healthcare Foundation and so many others that have helped with this
project. This is an economic boost for our community and region.”
Now more than ever, our community has seen the important, vital role healthcare workers play in our lives. As a result, HCC has joined with the Haywood Healthcare Foundation and their generous pledge of $5M has enabled the project to come to fruition.
The building features a lecture auditorium, skills lab, lab space with state-of-the-art manikins, and also a lab space that will be used for biology and nursing classes featuring an anatomage table and lab stations.

New students that are entering the nursing program in Fall 2023 will be able to start their program in the new building and applications for the nursing program are open through January 31, 2023 for the fall semester.
