Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) officially broke ground on its new Evelyn S. Dame Nursing and Allied Health Professions Facility in Ontario, Oregon.

The design for this new building features a concrete foundation framed with steel structuring, a combined metal and brick exterior, interior finishes, and brand new state-of-the-art nursing equipment.

In designing a space specifically for Health Science programs, Hummel worked with stakeholders during programming to meet the specific needs of the building occupants. For instance, to support the Emergency Medical Technician program, a classroom was designed that allows an ambulance to drive directly into the space for real-world learning.

The new Treasure Valley Community College building encompasses approximately 30,733 SF located on a 69,000 SF lot. Spaces in the facility include a lobby, commons, labs, classrooms, and other areas for hands-on learning.
