Rutgers collaborating Center for Nursing is a research and development organization that provides objective information about the nursing workforce in New Jersey to serve as a basis for policy development and as a catalyst for the implementation of innovation in nursing education, practice, and research models.

This significant new Rutgers University–Camden facility serves as a world-class faculty and students while solidifying Camden’s rising reputation as a global center for innovation in the biosciences.

The newly constructed, 106,735-square-foot facility stands four stories into the Camden skyline, complementing its neighbor, City Hall. Rutgers–Camden students at the undergraduate and graduate levels are engaging in learning experiences with Rutgers research faculty in state-of-the-art classrooms and clinical and research lab spaces.

Supported by the citizens of New Jersey who approved the 2012 Building the Future Bond Act in support of strengthening New Jersey’s higher education system, the Nursing and Science Building at Rutgers University–Camden includes an immersive learning classroom; patient simulation labs; physics laser research labs; and a two-story atrium with commanding views of Camden and Philadelphia. Retail tenants will be located on the main level.

The building’s main entry is on Federal Street overlooking the City Hall Park. A second entry is located at the southeast corner of the building at the end of Hudson Street and
provides access to the building from the Rand Transit Station and Cooper Hospital. Hudson Street provides access to the building’s service entry.
The architectural character of downtown Camden is characterized by limestone governmental buildings, masonry structures and a few low-scale stand-alone retail
buildings. The exterior design responds contextually to both the character of Camden and the architectural character of recent Rutgers University buildings at the Camden campus,
particularly the dormitory on Cooper Street, which is clad in a terracotta wall system with punched windows. A LEED Silver Certification is awarded to this project.
