SHC Breaks Ground On Innovation Center

Spring Hill College (SHC) has broken ground on the Annette N. Shelby Health and Science Innovation Center at its campus in Mobile. SHC says the $35-million facility will expand its nursing and pre-medical programs; launch new programs such as exercise science; and strengthen graduate pathways in occupational therapy, physical therapy and other health sciences. The 57,000-ft² center is to prepare students for high-demand careers in healthcare, science and research, while addressing critical workforce needs in Mobile, across Alabama and nationwide. It will have an Anatomage laboratory using digital cadavers for training, a high-tech nursing simulation lab space, a virtual reality lab, and labs dedicated to nursing skills and microscopy. As these academic offerings grow, the College expects to add faculty and staff to support them. Completion of construction is anticipated by spring 2027.
