“WHEN WE


DESIGNED THE FOURTH BUILDING, WE TRIED TO


IMAGINE NOT ONLY WHAT THE STUDENTS OF TODAY NEED, BUT WHAT WILL SERVE STUDENTS FOR


DECADES TO COME.” —Dan Weinert, D.C., Ph.D.


The additional space will mean crucial scheduling


improvements, too. “We looked at the challenges we were facing with things like room utilization, ingress and egress, even parking,” says Jason Brewer, M.S., dean of student services. “Now we’ve got this space that’s going to alleviate those concerns. It’s also going to enable us to refine our curriculum so that students’ overall experience in the D.C. program is enhanced.” In fact, the Palmer Florida principle of forging ahead with an open mind is embedded in the new building itself: 10,000 square feet have been reserved for future growth, whatever shape it might take. “It just speaks to the long-term strategy and strength


of Palmer College,” says Brewer. “And that there are still growth opportunities in Florida going forward.” Dr. Martin couldn’t agree more. “This is a building that will support us well into the future.” For his part, Dr. Carter enjoys pausing a moment to stand and watch as people drive by, slow down, and take it all in—not just the stunning building project but also the magisterial 100-year-old live oak the college made a point of preserving, one of the very same trees he found upon first setting foot on campus in 2002. “It’s truly something,” he says. “When you see it, you


can’t help but feel Palmer’s commitment to life, longevity, health and love of the community.”
