Paul Mayne/Western University

The new building that houses Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing at Western University is a state-of-the-art facility, opening in June, 2017.

Combining the best of academic learning and clinical education, the new building that houses the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing is unlike any other in Canada. It offers a suite of 16 beds where nursing students can build complex critical-thinking skills in a simulated hospital setting that includes computerized mannequins programmed to replicate almost any health ailment or situation. Research labs, student lounges and collaborative learning spaces help make this a facility where the next generation of nurses can achieve excellence.

We welcome Arthur and Sonia Labatt, long-time champions of health education at Western University, as they open this building which houses the nursing school named in their honour.
