A plan for what’s possible
William Sherrier, D.C., M.A., president of Palmer College of Chiropractic’s Florida campus, is crossing the sunny grounds in Port Orange, along the water’s edge. Green grass. Modern buildings. Palm trees and gentle breeze. It’s hard to imagine anything much better. Fortunately, Dr. Sherrier has a good
imagination. And he has a plan. “I can see it,” Dr. Sherrier says, looking across the busy green. “A campus where every space inspires connection, collaboration, and excellence. A place designed for learning and for shaping the future of chiropractic care. I can see that because Palmer has people who believe in what we’re doing.” Dr. Sherrier is describing the comprehensive
campus master plan that’s paving the way for a multi-year construction and renovation project to shape a vibrant, innovative environment for the next generation of Palmer students. “At Palmer, academic success will always be the number one priority,” Dr. Sherrier explains.
“And we know that supporting academic success doesn’t stop with curriculum. It’s

about creating an environment where students can succeed and grow as future doctors. We want to renovate our existing buildings and build new spaces, too — but it’s really about shaping experiences that will inspire, empower, and connect our students long after they leave campus.” Since opening its first building in 2002,
the campus has felt incredible momentum. It’s reflected in record-setting enrollment numbers, exam scores, and student satisfaction metrics. Now, as Dr. Sherrier says, it’s time for campus spaces to match the scale, needs, and expectations of today’s students and learning styles. “Our students are eager, collaborative, and
tech-savvy,” Dr. Sherrier says. “They’re looking for an environment that fosters teamwork, innovation, and personal growth.” Over the past year, Dr. Sherrier and Chancellor and CEO Dennis Marchiori, D.C., Ph.D. (`90), have convened faculty, staff, alumni, students, and architects to develop the campus master plan for Palmer Florida. What emerged from those conversations is a vision that
“At Palmer, academic success will always be the number one priority. And we know that supporting academic success doesn’t stop with curriculum. It’s about creating an environment where students can succeed and grow as future doctors.”
