Dental Laboratory Simulation Center
University of Detroit Mercy, Detroit, Michigan

The facility is dedicated to most clinical activities including general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and endodontics. Departments are arranged radially around common support areas. Ninety-six operatories are grouped into four symmetrical mini-clinics. Two distinct circulation patterns separate patient traffic from student/faculty circulation. Support services include radiography, sterilization and infection control, and supply. Most faculty and administrative offices are housed in a renovated dormitory directly attached to the main clinic by an elevated enclosed walkway.
