School of Nursing and Health Professions Renovation And Expansion Plans

School of Nursing and Health Professions Renovation And Expansion Plans


In the 1970’s, the nursing building was an excellent instructional facility. In 2010, it is in need of significant renovation and expansion to meet growing enrollment.  To address these needs, we began a campaign in 2007 which today has raised more than $4.8 million toward a $6.3 million goal to bring the facility into the 21st Century.  

The nursing building will be remodeled and expanded, and the latest equipment purchased to ensure that UIW’s School of Nursing and Health Professions maintains its reputation as one of the best in the Southwest. A third floor will be built, the main lecture hall and second-floor classrooms will be remodeled, and existing space will be transformed into a “mock-up,” fully equipped hospital setting, rewired with the latest technology.   

The new third floor and renovated building will contain larger classrooms, a new laboratory, auditorium and office space to accommodate increased enrollment in the Nursing Program, while still meeting stringent accreditation standards.

The renovation and expansion will allow us to increase enrollment by 50% and to implement structured student learning experiences using state-of-the-art simulated clinical experiences.  

The Mabee Foundation Challenge and the School of Nursing  

The Mabee Foundation of Oklahoma has been a generous supporter of UIW contributing funds to the Mabee Library, the Math, Science and Engineering Campaign and the Feik School of Pharmacy. We are thankful to report that the Mabee Foundation generously committed an $800,000 Challenge Grant in the summer of 2009 to the School of Nursing and Health Professions.  

This Challenge is very important to completing the campaign.  In order to receive the $800,000 grant, we must raise the remaining funds required by Mabee, now totaling $482,000, by July 15, 2010.  

How You Can Help   
Gifts from Incarnate Word alumni are vital to completing the Mabee Challenge and the campaign.  Many leadership gifts of $25,000 and greater have been received and now contributions from $100-$10,000 are greatly needed.  

You may go online to www.uiw.edu/giving to make your gift or pledge or call (210) 829-6071 today for more information.
