Manchester University officials last week celebrated the placement of the final structural beam in the construction of a $20 million health sciences hub on the Parkview Regional Medical Center campus.
The health sciences expansion will add over 32,000 square feet to the university’s operations in Fort Wayne and will provide students and faculty with opportunities to work with high-needs populations.
Additions will include physical therapy teaching labs, research and classroom space, a nursing simulation laboratory, and student collaboration areas.
“Raising this beam into place is a huge step toward the finish line for this critical investment in our faculty, our students and the future of our university,” Manchester University President Stacy Young said in a news release. “This expansion and investment is also an important development in helping health care providers meet the critical needs in the communities they serve, and it will also enhance Manchester University’s role as a health science hub in Fort Wayne, Allen County and throughout the region.”
The expansion is expected to be complete in the fall of 2024.
