Fort Wayne expansion moves closer to completion
R

enovation and expansion of Manchester University Fort Wayne began in June 2023. New additions to the building include physical therapy and nursing labs, additional research and classroom space, an expanded frame and a new cafe and patio. Almost a year later, significant progress has been made to Manchester’s hub for health sciences.

By late-January, four new classrooms were ready for use and faculty and staff began moving into their new office space.

An open house hosted by Greater Fort Wayne Inc. in April invited colleagues and community leaders to tour the new facilities and learn more about new academic programs.

Fort Wayne Facilities and Safety Coordinator Philip Spann continues to keep the MU community informed on the project’s progress with photos and updates sent out weekly.
