Trine University is pleased and excited by the Allen County Plan Commission’s approval of the primary development plan and rezoning for its new $40 million Trine University Fort Wayne campus.
“We appreciate the support of the Plan Commission and our partners at Parkview Health, as well as the many other government officials, business leaders and citizens who have spoken out in favor of this project,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University president. “We look forward to breaking ground on this new crown jewel for Fort Wayne, Allen County and northeast Indiana. We will be excited to see the economic impact — both the immediate effect of $40 million in construction and the long-term growth in high-paying jobs as our students graduate — resulting from this investment, as well as the long-term support for the health and welfare of this region.”
Trine University and Parkview Health announced plans for the new 120,000-square-foot academic facility housing programs in Trine’s College of Health Professions in early June. The building is projected to open in Fall 2024.
