Facilities

Our modern, technology-driven anatomy lab allows CPHS students to study the human body using life-sized, interactive digital cadavers instead of—or alongside—traditional specimens. With our Anatomage tables, students can virtually dissect real human bodies in 3D, explore anatomical structures layer by layer, and simulate procedures with precision.

The Atrium is one of many spaces throughout our buildings where students enjoy collaborating and studying. Ample space, different types of seating, collaboration technology, whiteboards, and ambient light make it a perfect spot for studying; whether it's with friends, group project partners, or individually in one of the room's tucked-away, quiet coves.

Pharmacy students will have access to a variety of compounding equipment and will learn appropriate techniques for creating both sterile and non-sterile products to meet the unique needs of patients.

This space is divided into individual rooms which simulate clinical exam rooms where you can practice working one-on-one with patients, sharpen your patient assessment skills, and practice performing health screenings. The video recording capabilities of this space allow you to review and reflect on your work.

Our nursing facility was designed to look and feel like a real hospital or clinic. It features multiple fully-equipped patient rooms with all different types of "patients" (high-tech manikins) that can be controlled by instructors during hands-on simulation exercises, as well as a medication storage room and home care room.

Yes, there's a car in the building! Other than the "OT Cruiser," this one-of-a-kind facility also houses a miniature Hy-Vee grocery store, a fully functioning one-bedroom apartment, an ergonomic office, and a space called Independence Plaza featuring several types of terrain and a fleet of wheelchairs and mobility devices. These realistic simulated spaces allow OTD students to practice helping clients navigate the community and participate in daily living activities independently, no matter what their needs are. Downstairs, you'll find the pediatrics lab, classrooms, and other collaboration and learning spaces.

Alongside skilled and passionate faculty members, students undertake research projects and make scientific discoveries in this space, changing the future of patient treatment methods by uncovering how certain genetics can impact response to medication.

Practice life-saving skills without the stress of working on a real person. This lab uses life-like, high-fidelity manikins to simulate real patients. They do everything from run a fever to scream in pain. You'll practice your skills in evaluating and treating a plethora of different conditions so you're prepared to work with real patients.

In this space, you'll learn techniques for physiological fitness testing and access state-of-the-art laboratory fitness equipment to study the five major components of physical fitness: cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength and power, muscle endurance, flexibility, and body composition. This lab is used for classroom instruction, research projects, investigating human performance, and testing intercollegiate athletes.
