Lake Mary Center has announced it will expand its Paola Campus with a new facility and renovations to an existing facility. CEO Kirk Davis says the new building will be home to 40 children and will include a computer lab, library, chapel, therapy centers, a sensory playroom and much more. It will be the first new building on the campus since 2014, when Lakemary Center completed a $3.3 million renovation and expansion project. Plans for the new project, which is estimated to cost more than $10 million, calls for one of the existing dorms to be updated and repurposed to include two new cafeterias, laundry services, offices, and areas for staff who provide direct care for the children.
Lakemary was founded 53 years ago by the Ursuline sisters of Paola, who donated the 32 acre campus. They serve children and adults with developmental disabilities.
