McLeod Hall & Claude Moore Nursing Education Building Located in the eastern part of the University Grounds, near the UVA Medical Center, the school occupies the Claude Moore Nursing Education Building and McLeod Hall. McLeod Hall is a five-story brick building that has housed the School of Nursing since its dedication in November 1972. The Claude Moore Nursing Education Building is a four-story facility that opened in June 2008. These facilities house classrooms, an auditorium, clinical learning laboratories, seminar rooms, and offices.
The School of Nursing draws upon the resources of the academic departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, the other undergraduate schools of the University, and on the clinical facilities and instructional materials of UVA Health.
In addition to the academic resources of the University, nursing students receive clinical experience at UVA Health, public health agencies, community agencies, private and state hospitals, nursing homes, and/or industrial settings.
