The Oxley College of Health Sciences is housed at 1215 S. Boulder Avenue in downtown Tulsa. The building was constructed in 1954 for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma and was later expanded in 1969. Kinslow, Keith and Todd redesigned the building for The University of Tulsa in the summer of 2015. Floors 1-5 underwent a complete remodel by Flintco in the fall of 2015, 52,000 square feet. The remodeled facilities allows expansion of TU’s health sciences programs from 310 to more than 600 students.

Lawson Family Nursing Simulation Center and Skills Laboratory
Lawson Family Nursing Simulation Center and Skills Laboratory helps to prepare TU students in the Oxley College of Health Sciences for clinical experiences that are a part of their academic programs. The laboratory and simulation center is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment including hospital beds, vital statistics monitoring equipment, high-fidelity simulation mannequins, respiratory equipment, other equipment and supplies. Students use the laboratory and simulation center to practice skills they will use in the clinical setting and in their career. They also participate in scenarios using the high-fidelity human patient simulators relating to typical encounters they will likely see in the clinical rotations.

KRS Human Performance Lab
The Human Performance Laboratory is approximately 1,125 square feet with 15 student desks dedicated to undergraduate and graduate studies. The laboratory is used for research and teaching purposes within the Department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitative Sciences. The Human Performance Laboratory is able to assess metabolic function, oxygen uptake, substrate utilization, pulmonary function, electromyography, electrocardiogram with an iworx research grade human exercise physiology kit. A CosMed K4b portable metabolic assessment is used for field based testing.
