Simulation and Immersive Learning Centre, Wrexham

Wynne Construction was appointed by Wrexham University to deliver a new build extension to the Simulation and Immersive Learning Centre, SILC (formerly known as project name HEIQ) at their Wrexham campus.

The extension within the existing K Block, provides cutting-edge facilities to enable students to go even further with their learning experiences, forming an enhanced clinical learning and simulation environment, in line with the healthcare courses at the University and in association with Health Education Innovation Wales.

The two-storey extension includes classrooms, staff areas, a teaching and learning lab and Hydra simulation suite – developed in conjunction with the Hydra Foundation – that will help students with their critical decision-making skills, through simulation of emergency situations, as well as student centred study spaces and a new café.

Work commenced in April 2025 and was completed in April 2026.
