Carl S. Cleveland III, DC, president of Cleveland College announced that his school will move its educational programs to two structures on 34 acres at 108th and Lowell Avenue, adjacent to the intersection of Antioch Road and Interstate 435. The structures total 176,000 square feet that will be used for classrooms, laboratories, a library, cafeteria, offices and other facilities including planned fitness and day‑care centers.

"Part of this $29‑million acquisition and expansion plan includes a $10‑million retrofit to construct a state‑of‑the‑science chiropractic health center and educational facility," Dr. Cleveland said. "With the expansive acreage, this site will accommodate the college's needs through the next 50 years." The first phase of a capital campaign managed by Creative Leadership Solutions is underway to offset partial expense of this acquisition.

Cleveland said CCCKC expects to begin remodeling this spring and to relocate its instructional program by spring 2008. The college is seeking proposals to establish tenant relationships for a fitness center and a day‑care center in one of the buildings.

The Overland Park site, 25 minutes from the college's current Brookside location, is in a community nationally known for its commitment to higher education, boasting the second‑highest population of college‑degreed residents in the nation. Five other college campuses call Kansas City's suburban Overland Park home.

"Students are incredibly excited about opportunities at the new facility," Melissa Denton, CCCKC director of admissions, said. "Overland Park is an attractive, vibrant and safe community with affordable housing, award‑winning schools, great restaurants and plenty of recreation opportunities ‑‑ everything a student could want."

At the same time CCCKC constructs its new clinical facility on the Overland Park campus, the college will maintain its strong and sustained presence on the Missouri side of the state line. The college will continue operating its current Health Center in the Brookside area, as well the Cleveland Wellness Center, an interdisciplinary teaching clinic at Truman Medical Center in nearby Lee's Summit, Mo. CCCKC will also continue its residency affiliation with the Kansas City Veterans Administration Hospital.
