Thanks to a dose of state funding, Radford University’s physical presence in Roanoke is expanding while upgrading one of its hallmark programs.
Earlier this year, the Roanoke Higher Education Center — the board of which is chaired by state Sen. John Edwards, D-Roanoke — secured a bond-funded package of $2 million from the General Assembly to revamp its Clinical Simulation Center used by the school’s nursing students.
The 1,800 square-foot expansion and renovation of 2,800-square feet of the existing CSC was celebrated Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and remarks from university officials and other local leaders.
