Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes – Jewish College

1611 Burlington Street Suite A, Columbia, MO

Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College is housed in Goldfarb Hall, a $40 million five story, 105,000 square foot building located on the Washington University Medical Center. Completed in 2007, our facility blends technology, space and beauty to inspire every student, faculty and staff that walks through its doors.

The building features 200-seat auditoriums, 60-seat classrooms, seminar rooms and study halls conducive to learning, as well as dedicated suites that enable on-site faculty research. An outdoor garden, patio, student lounge, commons area and dedicated alumni room make the building a place not only to learn, but also to bond, socialize and network with others who share the call to nursing.

From its classrooms to its computer labs, Goldfarb Hall is designed to support the latest technology. It is home to the Clinical Simulation Institute, which includes six simulation laboratories that replicate actual environments found on medical, surgical, and pediatric floors; in operating rooms; in procedure areas; and in maternity, neonatal, and critical care units. The labs feature real equipment and supplies, such as pumped-in oxygen for intubation, to make all simulations as realistic as possible.

The highlight of these labs is the patient simulators, life-like mannequins that can be programmed to simulate virtually any human vital sign or condition. They blink, breathe, bleed, have a pulse, groan, convulse, give birth, or die, depending on how the students respond to the computerized scenarios controlled by faculty. The labs also feature an IV simulator which students practice on before performing them on live patients.
