On April 29, the Eye Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University broke ground on a construction project that will redesign, renovate and dramatically enhance the existing facility. The result will be a functional and attractive 14,000-square-foot expansion that will allow all patient care services to occur on one level. Renovations will include three primary care suites, a pediatric suite and a specialty suite, as well as an expanded eyewear center with more than 2,100 square feet of retail space. The project’s estimated completion date is late spring 2011.
