Parkview Education Center


 

REFITTED TO EDUCATE

The Parkview Education Center is a place structured to develop and train students of health science with hands-on learning, simulated learning spaces, technical prowess, and collaborative thinking. Working as the construction manager for this project, Weigand was responsible for outfitting the existing space (originally built for a high-security aerospace company) and transforming it into an ideal facility for educating, coaching, and guiding both existing and upcoming healthcare workers.  
 

A HANDS-ON APPROACH

The 88,996 square foot structure houses classrooms, offices, operation rooms, clinical spaces, and groupthink areas. Brought together through the vision of Fort Wayne Community Schools, Ivy Tech Community College, and Parkview Health, the trio saw the need for an innovative learning experience for health science students. They met this need by combining traditional classrooms with immersive learning spaces that emulate what’s utilized in industry. This way, students can connect their firsthand experiences with the knowledge they gained through hands-on training.
