Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) hosted a Wall-Breaking Ceremony for Building 420 on the Niceville Campus on Thursday, October 26, 2023. The College’s Building 420 will serve as the dedicated space for Health Sciences and the Nursing Program.
This ceremony marked the initial phase of the NWFSC Nursing Program Expansion project. Future phases include integration of instructional enhancements through virtual technology, professional development for faculty, and increased accessibility of pre-nursing coursework to support a pipeline of students. Throughout this project the priority will be implementing teaching technologies and strategies that improve student success while accelerating the learning process.
