# New York Funds Binghamton Nursing Simulation Center

On October 1, 2026, New York State announced a $10 million investment to establish the SUNY Systemwide Nursing Simulation Center of Excellence at Binghamton: $5 million in SUNY capital funding and a $5 million campus match. The center will support simulation-based nursing and interprofessional health-profession training, with programs expected to enroll more than 150 students annually at full implementation. The announcement identifies no contract award, solicitation, or procurement contact, so the funding is a potential precursor to later purchasing rather than an open contracting opportunity.

- The planned center could create future demand for facility work, simulation equipment, technology, and training services, but the announcement provides no acquisition scope or schedule.
- Contractors serving higher education and healthcare training programs can use the stated center purpose and funding structure to assess potential fit; no specific proposal or registration action is identified at this stage.
- SUNY’s capital contribution and Binghamton campus match establish the announced funding sources, while the anticipated annual enrollment indicates the center’s intended training scale.
