Customer Story Greenville Technical College – Prisma Health Center for Health and Life Sciences

Learning on Display

The Prisma Health Center for Health and Life Sciences architectural theme, “Learning on Display,” celebrates scientific exploration and transparency. Exposed pipes, ductwork, and infrastructure mirror the detailed examination of the human body, reflecting the hands-on, investigative approach students experience in the classroom. This approach encourages students to engage deeply with their studies. Expansive glass walls fill the space with natural light, showcasing vibrant, engaged learning environments and fostering a culture of curiosity and interaction.

Promoting Active Learning in Classrooms

Located just inside the entrance to the facility, the Active Learning Classroom sets the tone for collaboration, with hexagonal tables designed to resemble the interlocking molecular structure of DNA. Easily rearranged to support group work, these tables enhance flexibility and interaction.

The hexagonal motif is carried throughout the building, appearing on windows, furniture, and interior design elements. This pattern evokes the concept of a beehive, symbolizing the collaborative, interconnected style of learning the college encourages.

Classrooms feature advanced technology, including whiteboards, digital screens, and tools to support remote learning. The Anatomage Lab, equipped with cutting-edge anatomy tools such as a life-size screen that portrays digital cadavers, provides an immersive and modern learning experience.

Encouraging Connection and Collaboration

The Prisma Health Center for Health and Life Sciences offers welcoming spaces that inspire students to linger and connect, fostering a sense of belonging. The top-floor lounge provides stunning campus views and a variety of seating options for solo work, collaboration, or relaxation.

Casual gathering areas with lounge seating and high-top tables are intentionally scattered throughout the hallways and staircases to facilitate impromptu meetings or quick breaks. These “in-between” spaces encourage spontaneous problem-solving and camaraderie, building a supportive community for students and faculty alike .

Supporting Faculty and Staff

Faculty offices are located in close proximity to classrooms and student lounge spaces. This promotes accessibility and interaction, while the office design maintains privacy. There are spaces for quiet work, collaborative lounge spaces, and break rooms to reenergize and recharge. To ensure comfort and productivity, all faculty areas feature ergonomic furniture, including height-adjustable desks, ample storage, and technology integration. Natural light and outdoor views are prioritized, promoting well-being and focus.

A Hub for Learning and Growth

The Prisma Health Center for Health and Life Sciences at Greenville Technical College epitomizes a space where students thrive, faculty excel, and a community flourishes. Through cutting-edge technology, adaptable learning environments, and welcoming collaborative spaces, the center is the embodiment of the best in modern education and student engagement.

As more companies transition to a hybrid work model, the need for flexible, future-forward offices is growing. Furniture designed to empower people with choice and enable them to connect, collaborate, and maintain a sense of belonging plays a significant role in drawing people back to the office. Additionally, businesses benefit through improvements in efficiency, productivity, and creativity.
