Galen College of Nursing marked a significant milestone last week with the grand opening of its newest campus in San Antonio, TX. The expansion supports Galen’s mission to address the growing nursing shortage by increasing the region's access to high-quality nursing education.

The 1500-SF facility was designed to foster hands-on learning and feature state-of-the-art classrooms, nursing skills labs, and a simulated hospital where students can develop practical experience using human patient simulators in a controlled, real-world environment. Collaborative and creative spaces throughout the campus further enhance the student experience and prepare graduates for the dynamic demands of today’s healthcare field.

BHDP led the design of the new campus, continuing a long-standing partnership with Galen to create innovative, student-centered learning environments across its growing national network.
