The growing interest among students seeking careers in
health sciences is leading Moravian College in Bethlehem to build a site on
campus to host new programs.
Plans are in place to build a three-story,
48,000-square-foot structure at 1107 Main St., said Mark Reed, vice president
for finance and administration for Moravian College.
“There are currently three residential properties on that
tract of land,” Reed said. “Those will ultimately be demolished.”
Moravian College owns the properties slated for
demolition.
Construction could start next spring, with the building
occupied by autumn 2017, he said.
The building would accommodate the nursing program, which
is expected to grow, and a program for athletic training, which is a new
graduate school major, in addition to a health science program.
“We do not have a budget yet; we expect to have our final
number in the spring,” Reed said. “We are not sure what the cost will be.”
Moravian College will go through all the approval
processes required by the city, Reed said.
The architect for the project is Earl Swensson
Associates, based in Nashville, Texas.
