The Nursing and Allied Health Education Building at RUMC is nearing completion. The project consists of a
34,749 SF three-story structure adjacent to the main hospital. It will provide new and expanded space for
services currently provided within the hospital including
nursing orientation, specialty training, new program
development and training, patient education,
coordination of outside speakers and clinical affiliation
coordination. Program spaces include a lobby, meeting
hall space, classroom/education spaces, teaching/
simulation areas, administration areas, and support
spaces. The project also includes an open courtyard
between the building and the southwest side of the
hospital, which is currently a landscaped area of
walkways and patio space for outdoor breaks and
dining. The $18,728,365 construction project is
funded by RUMC Enterprise Funds.

Education Building
Public Health Lab
The selection of the architectural firm will
take place in June 2015. The Public Health
Department Lab, located at 4065 County
Circle Drive, Riverside, CA, was constructed
in the mid-1980s and while it met the Lab
and staff needs of those times, it is
insufficient for the new lab equipment,
safety and staff needs of today. The
laboratory workstations are overcrowded
and special work spaces are needed for the
handling of infectious specimens. “Right-
sizing” the modernization and expansion of
the laboratory facility will consist of a 4,700
SF remodel and an approximately 5,100 SF
expansion of the existing lab that will require
a phased building approach while
accommodating
ongoing
laboratory
operations. The project components include
administration
and
office
space,
accessioning space, new lab space,
including a BLS-3 lab to handle infectious
materials, and central services space. The
new expansion and remodel will be a
showcase for innovative laboratory design.
