R enovation and expansion of Manchester University Fort Wayne began in June 2023 . New additions to the building include physical therapy and nursing labs , additional research and classroom space , an expanded frame and a new cafe and patio . Almost a year later , significant progress has been made to Manchester ’ s hub for health sciences .

By late-January , four new classrooms were ready for use and faculty and staff began moving into their new office space .
An open house hosted by Greater Fort Wayne Inc . in April invited colleagues and community leaders to tour the new facilities and learn more about new academic programs .
Fort Wayne Facilities and Safety Coordinator Philip Spann continues to keep the MU community informed on the project ’ s progress with photos and updates sent out weekly .
