The new centre has a clinical simulation suite where a wide-range of healthcare professionals can be trained and practise realistic scenarios and hone new skills. There are also flexible and interactive education and teaching spaces for team and individual learning, breakout areas, as well as a new library.
Over the coming weeks, new furniture and IT equipment will be installed, as well as more work on the external area which will have landscaped gardens to promote biodiversity and outdoor wellbeing areas. The Learning Centre will also provide training opportunities for healthcare students.
Once open, you will be able to access the new centre from Dryclough Lane. The two storey, flat-roofed centre has been designed to complement the surrounding area and includes a solar panel system to provide a sustainable electricity source, as part of our aim to deliver an energy efficient building.
More information about an opening date will be announced in the coming weeks.
The new centre is part of the Foundations for our Future programme, which is our long-term vision to transform our services in Calderdale and Huddersfield.
