The final steel beam of the Interprofessional Immersive Simulation Center will be lifted into place 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 8.
The beam, which will be draped with American and The University of Toledo flags, is the final piece of more than 550 tons of steel used for the four-story building. The best vantage point for media will be in front of the Wolfe Center on the UT Health Science Campus facing east (see map).
The Interprofessional Immersive Simulation Center will be the first in the nation to incorporate three integrated simulation centers: a progressive anatomy and surgical skills center, an advanced simulation center and the virtual immersive reality center.
Construction of the $36 million, 60,000-square-foot center began in September and it is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
