Logistical Planning and Making the Move to a New Simulation Space

Background: This article describes one simulation center's logistical planning experience as it consolidated three small simulation and skills areas in three buildings into one brand new building and space. Method: Six months of planning and packing are described with enough detail that the ideas can be duplicated by others. Results: The contents of three laboratories and all manikins were moved and unpacked in three days. Conclusion: Optimal logistical planning by a committed team can ensure a smooth move into a new simulation space. (C) 2016 International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning.
