Anyone passing Moravian College’s main campus has noticed the quick rise of a huge new building. Celebrating the near-completion of the Sally Breidegam Maiksiewicz Center for Health Sciences April 13, the college invited media to take a tour before the $23 million facility opens in June.
The interior was still pretty rough and workers were busy all over the building, but Vice President for Institutional Advancement Gary Carney described the small 275-year-old institution’s newest addition as ultra-modern and sized to allow the already lauded nursing program to grow by 25 percent more students.
The school is seeing a larger waiting list each year for the nursing program. President Bryon Grigsby said, “The program has 100 percent employment [after graduation], and parents tend to want their children employed.”
Moravian College invited members of the local media to tour the new building last month as the interior structures were being completed. The massive hall on the first floor opens to a number of classrooms and larger teaching areas
