About the Project
The Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) along with its partners at The City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), and the Aldermanic Offices of the 16th Ward, are embarking on delivering a renovation to the portions of the existing Library Facility at Kennedy King College, to create nursing laboratories, classrooms, and accompanying student learning and experimenting spaces.
In accordance with the requirements of Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and Higher Learning Commission (HLC), students may pursue a full nursing pathway program for an associate’s degree in nursing, License in Practical Nursing, or Basic Nursing Assistant’s Certificate.
The overall project programming will produce state-of-the-art simulated nursing laboratories, accompanying student learning and experiential spaces. The general scope of work will include project to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, furniture, finishes, and equipment to accommodate the Nursing and Library. This expansion will return a full nursing pathway to Kennedy-King College.
The campus building, dedicated in July 2007, encompasses primarily the library, will utilize the second-floor area of approximately +/- 15,500 sq. ft. of area for the new nursing expansion scope. The project design aims to create state-of-the-art simulated nursing laboratories, classrooms and accompanying student learning and experiential spaces, such as task training, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Further opportunities will be in creating a shared space or share classrooms on either 1st or 2nd floor. Since this program will be adjacent to the library, an assessment of the library will be included.
The effort will involve the renovation of the existing space to include but is not limited to the following: Refer to the provided programming matrix. Subject to change
