Spalding University in Louisville, Ky., has received a $2 million donation for its new School of Physical Therapy.
The gift from Kosair Charities will enable the university to build a 21,500-square-foot facility that will house the Doctor of Physical Therapy program.
The building will be named the Kosair Charities School of Physical Therapy and Center for Interprofessional Education, the school says in a news release.
The new facility will be in the center of the campus across from other health science buildings.
Several study and collaboration spaces will be available throughout the facility. An atrium that will provide natural light from large windows. A second student lounge will be on the facilities upper level.
Other features include three skill labs for on-site laboratory instruction as well as an anatomy education center with an anatomy wet lab and accompanying dry lab featuring models and technology for virtual anatomy instruction.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by late 2021.
