Lakemary Center’s planned expansion officially kicked off recently with a groundbreaking ceremony at the Paola Campus, which serves children and adults with disabilities. The expansion includes a new psychiatric residential treatment facility that will be home to 40 children. Additional planned amenities include a computer lab, library, chapel, onsite therapy centers, sensory playroom and more,
They are also renovating an existing building to better serve their community. According to the site plan, access to the new 17,000-square-foot dormitory will be through a newly installed sidewalk system. Plans call 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.
