This webcam photo, taken this Friday morning from the roof of the Morgan Library on the campus of Grace College and Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana, shows construction progress as the Orthopaedic Capital Center inches toward completion.
According to Grace officials, the project is still on target to host the school’s graduation in early May, 2007, and it should also be available for use during the Equip07 Grace Brethren national conference in late July.
The new $9.1 million, 60,000 square-foot facility will meet the needs of Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary for chapels, conferences, meetings, and indoor sports events, but also is designed for businesses and organizations that hold events with an audience of up to 2,800 people, such as business meetings and seminars; trade shows and exhibitions; musical events and concerts; home, boat and craft shows; and athletic events.
Three of the area’s largest employers donated $1 million each to make the center possible: Biomet Orthopaedics, Inc.; DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.; and Zimmer Holdings, Inc.
