Southeastern Louisiana University
Nursing & Health Sciences Building

The proposed Nursing and Health Sciences Building at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond represents a strategic investment in expanding and modernizing the university’s healthcare education infrastructure. Designed to meet the growing demands of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CNHS), the facility will include advanced simulation labs, flexible classrooms, faculty offices, and supportive spaces, with site development that integrates seamlessly into the campus.

Key objectives are to increase enrollment capacity, enhance the educational experience through innovative, collaborative spaces, and strengthen the CNHS community by providing inviting environments for faculty and students to learn and engage. The project will consolidate simulation teaching labs to support contemporary instructional methods and inter-professional education goals. It will also relocate the university’s Speech Language and Hearing Clinic into modern treatment spaces with room for growth, and expand the rural health clinic to deliver vital services—such as primary care, counseling, and health coaching—to the surrounding community, with CNHS managing operations until external partnerships are in place.
