Concept
The Fukui Medical Simulation Center is a Fukui prefecture-wide facility that offers medical simulation education, which is rapidly expanding both domestically and internationally. The center will support the acquisition of basic skills and in-depth knowledge, and will provide a wide range of education, including risk reduction for medical procedures, interaction among medical professionals, and medical safety training, not only for those related to University of Fukui Hospital, but also for medical professionals in Fukui Prefecture. The zoning, flow lines, exterior and interior design are integrated with the clinical training center to which it is connected, and each room is designed with movable partitions to allow variable room sizes to accommodate the number of training participants. The common space was designed to be easy to use, and comfortable for users from outside to enter, stay, and interact with each other. In addition, wall corner guards made of prefectural cypress and glass made of prefectural Echizen washi paper are used.
