CAPITAL CAMPAIGN A WHOLE NEW SPACE

Transforming into the Learning Commons

CHALLENGE GRANT TO MATCH

$1 FOR $1 IN MILLION-DOLLAR PROJECT

One of the largest and most exciting projects in the past decade at Life Chiropractic College West is taking off. We are transforming our traditional library space into a contemporary and technologyenhanced Learning Commons.

This project will have a dramatic impact on the learning experience of generations of chiropractors as well as the countless number of chiropractic patients for whom they will provide care.

Traditionally, libraries have been defined by a strict set of rules – silent environments that promote solitary study. Evolving technology and its emphasis on group and interactive learning require traditional libraries to adapt to innovative and dynamic forms of learning. The new Learning Commons is designed to embrace these emerging educational trends and practices.

Renovations include the removal of almost all of the book stacks, installing new carpet, acquiring new furniture that better promotes group learning dynamics, increased wifi capability, integrating state-of-the-art technology equipment to enhance individual, group and remote-learning opportunities, new ceiling and insulation paneling. A digital dissection table by Anatomage is among the most sophisticated technology included in the transformed space.

The Learning Commons is at the heart of the educational mission of Life Chiropractic College West. We’re providing students and faculty with an enhanced learning environment and the technology to be successful in today’s technology rich academic culture.

CHIROPRACTIC MUSEUM

The history of chiropractic is filled with visionaries, pioneers and healers. This mural depicting historic figures in the chiropractic profession is one of thousands of artifacts, images, devices, and scholarly publications in the Life West Chiropractic Museum. Its new location in the Learning Commons reminds all that the profession’s history is an integral part of the academic and clinical preparation for chiropractors.
