Advancing Education, Transforming Lives: Fuhr Science Center Renovation Hands-on, applied learning has always been a cornerstone of the Logan experience. Since founder Dr. Hugh B. Logan’s first class of seven students, the university’s curriculum has incorporated real-world, evidence-informed, patient-centered practice into daily instruction. Now, more than 85 years since its founding, Logan remains dedicated to teaching its students the long-standing traditions of chiropractic technique while also preparing them to work in an integrated and ever-evolving health care environment. As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing education and transforming lives through evidence-based health care, and thanks to a generous lead gift of $1 million from Arlan W. Fuhr, DC (’61) and Judi Fuhr, Logan recently announced plans to renovate and expand the newly named Fuhr Science Center (formerly Science and Research Center) as well as renovate portions of the Administration Center. Guided by the university’s mission and vision, the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign is an investment in experiential, hands-on learning that will be funded through three efforts: financing through an existing long-term relationship with the university’s banking partner, a strategic spend in cash reserves and a fundraising campaign.

renovation of the building’s existing 33,426 square feet and the construction of an additional 14,400 square feet, the updated Fuhr Science Center will house state-of-theart anatomy labs, a simulated imaging center, Anatomage Tables, technique labs, faculty offices, and additional student collaboration and study areas—all important and necessary features as the university continues to expand its degree programs and enroll even more students in the College of Chiropractic, College of Health Sciences and the newly formed College of Health Professions. This college will house all non-DC degree programs that are based in person, including the Master’s in Athletic Training, and future degree programs with 51 percent or more of face-to-face instruction. Construction will begin in 2022.
“This campaign will transform our spaces to support students and increase emphasis on the elements of the Logan academic experience—anatomy, technique and clinical methods—that prepare our graduates for the patient care of tomorrow,” said Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “On behalf of the university and its future students, we are incredibly grateful to Arlan and Judi Fuhr for their generous support in helping us launch this initiative.” Dr. Fuhr, founder and chairman of Activator Methods International and co-inventor of the Activator Adjusting Instrument and the Activator Method chiropractic technique—the world’s most widely used instrument adjusting chiropractic Continued on page 9
