Construction is underway for a new innovation center at St. Mary’s University that will support advanced manufacturing, engineering, computing and it will house a new nursing program.
“This is a dream come true. We have been talking about starting a nursing program for five or six years and we will have a great facility, with great equipment,” Tom Mengler, St. Mary’s University President said.
On the third floor of the Blank Sheppard Innovation Center will be the home to a Bachelor of Science nursing program. “In 2032, we will be short 50,000 nurses in the State of Texas, so St. Mary’s University will make an important contribution to addressing that desperate need for healthcare in Texas,” Mengler said.University student Arlene Chaidez believes it will be a great addition to the campus.
“I know a lot of people that want to go into nursing with a biology bachelor’s and this gives them the opportunity to go directly into nursing without having to waste so much time,” Chaidez said.“We’re estimating that the cost will be about $18 and a half million dollars,” Mengler said. The university has also set up a live web cam, focused on the construction site where you can keep up with the project.“It will be focused almost entirely on promoting advanced manufacturing. There will be a laboratory on robotics, one on data science. There will be a laboratory on entrepreneurship,” Mengler said.About the Authors:
