ET104 – New School of Nursing: Innovative Educational Technologies Wrapped in Tradition
Additional fee, registration required.
Tour Catholic University’s newly completed Conway School of Nursing. The building, opening in the fall of 2024, was a joint effort between Ayers Saint Gross and Robert AM Stern Architects.
Experience the new Campus Gateway Plaza, designed as a threshold between the urban fabric of the city and the pastoral campus landscape. Centered on the plaza, the building balances the state-of-the-art simulation and learning spaces required of nursing education with a building exterior that responds to the university’s established collegiate gothic language. Explore the array of teaching spaces that support rigorous clinical learning while maximizing active learning and flexibility.
Occupying the north side of the of the Gateway Plaza is the Edward M. Crough Center for Architecture Studies. Originally the university's Gymnasium, the building was repurposed in 1989 for the School of Architecture and Planning
