The Swain Family School of Science and Mathematics is now using an Anatomage table and learning system that enables cadets and students to examine real medical case studies with a technology that transforms cadavers into digital living bodies that function and respond as a real patient would.

“The virtual dissection table unscrambles the complex layers of the human body for cadets and students getting degrees in biology, nursing, or health and human performance,” said Physiology Professor Clinton Moran, Ph.D. “The potential for cross-disciplinary learning through our new Anatomage technology is also expansive.”

In addition to the dissection table, a large wall screen shows the entire class what those at the table are doing. Moran’s class was one of the first to use the Anatomage table in the college’s new Anatomy and Physiology Lab this fall.

A state-of-the-art academic facility, Bastin Hall was made possible thanks to a $6 million gift from Rick Bastin, ’65, and his wife Mary Lee through 91���� Foundation.

The 108,000-square-foot replacement will house classrooms, a performing arts auditorium, an art gallery and a computer lab for the Center for Cyber, Intelligence and Security Studies.

The Capers Hall Replacement Project comes with a price tag of $67 million.
The South Carolina General Assembly provided $15 million to assist with the project, and several donors have stepped forward with generous gifts.

The architectural design will align with the iconic design elements of other campus structures, incorporating both traditional and transitional elements in the three-story facility.

 “We are having the concrete, masonry and stucco material, recovered from the demolition, crushed and recycled so that we can use it to build the new site foundation and parking area,” said retired U.S. Navy Commander Jeff Lamberson, ’85, vice president for facilities and engineering. “The metal from the old facility will be recycled. There are also some distinctive lighting and ironwork features that will be repurposed.”
