SWBR selected as architect for Nazareth College project; Wellness and Rehabilitation Institute set to open fall 2014

Nazareth College recently revealed plans to move forward with a Wellness and Rehabilitation Institute on their campus. Nazareth College president Daan Braveman said,"One of the things we want to do is start a physical therapy clinic for children with developmental disabilities. It'll also allow us to expand the number of people being served. It's great for our students, it's wonderful training, but it is great for the community as well." The center will not only benefit students on campus, it will also be available for community use. Set to open in fall 2014, the institute plans to expand the existing educational and clinical facilities of the colleges' School of Health and Human Services. The facility will be dedicated to nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, social work, creative arts therapy as well as pre-medical and pre-dental studies. The design will double the program space and create new or improved space for clinics. The focus is complete patient-centered care and wellness via unified and cross functional clinics.
