Construction is underway on a new building to train University of South Carolina nursing students at Lexington Medical Center.

This project will grow a public-private partnership between the university’s College of Nursing and Lexington Medical Center. A 52,000-square-foot state-of-the-art nursing simulation center and teaching space will be built on the hospital’s campus to provide clinical training for the University of South Carolina’s growing nursing student population.

Lexington Medical Center and the University of South Carolina have two new partnerships that will provide workforce development and clinical training for UofSC’s growing nursing student population and help meet local and statewide needs for primary care physicians through an affiliation for graduate medical education.
