A Campus Transformation That Lights a Compassionate Flame
Last fall, Providence College broke ground on the Ben Mondor Center for Nursing and Health Sciences. Bernard “Ben” Georges Mondor ’04Hon., is a philanthropist and community leader best known for transforming the Pawtucket Red Sox (RI) into one of the most successful franchises in professional baseball.
When completed in early 2025, the Mondor Center will be the academic hub for the school and it will house state-of-the-art teaching and learning environments for clinical nursing simulation, anatomy and physiology labs, a student resource center, faculty innovation labs, a chapel, and countless other spaces to support engaged learning inside and outside of the classroom.

Construction Update: Drone Video Recorded – 11/5/24
On November 5, 2024, crews captured aerial footage of the construction of the Mondor Center for Nursing and Health Sciences. We are finishing the landscaping around the building, and final inspections and walkthroughs are happening simultaneously. If the weather continues to remain on our side, plantings and grass will be installed within the next few weeks. The building is less than 20 days from substantial completion.
For comparison, this was exactly one year ago.
Technology in the Classroom
Preparing PC students to excel in highly technological environments is essential. The School of Nursing and Health Sciences — in collaboration with our faculty, campus IT partners, clinical partners, and industry specialists — aims to drive educational technology innovation inside and outside of the classroom. Our pedagogy centers on hands-on experiential education that incorporates technology to advance learning outcomes.
First-year students will immediately engage with an Anatomage Table, the most technologically advanced anatomy visualization system on the market. It contains a virtual library of human cadavers, as well as provides a clinical diagnostic tool utilizing visualization of any Medical CT, CBCT, or MRI scan.
Additionally, students and faculty will utilize breakthrough augmented and virtual reality simulations that are rapidly expanding approaches to healthcare education. These computer-generated immersive environments prepare students at all levels for real-life experiences and further our understanding of healthcare practices.
