The University of Rochester School of Nursing will double in size with the addition of a new $7 million wing. The university is expected to increase enrollment by 60 percent.

Improvements will include a high-tech auditorium, facilities for wireless computing, distance learning, and laptop docking stations. "It will enable us to accept more students and provide them a better quality education," said the nursing school’s Associate Dean Renu Singh. Construction of the new nursing school wing begins in August and will open next year.
