New Building Topping Out Ceremony

By Claire Winningham

On August 23, the Thompson Center celebrated the topping out of their new building at the South Providence Medical Park. This ceremony signifies the placement of the last structural beam into the building. Click here to see remarks from Dr. Connie Brooks and the raising of the beam!

This new building for the Thompson Center will allow for an expansion of services that are provided. Some of the features that will be at this new building include:

  • Adaptive and inclusive playground
  • Family waiting room
  • Therapy gym 
  • Group therapy rooms 
  • Life skills room and training cafe
  • Discovery and research center
  • Easy-to-navigate entrance and drop-off area

This new building will also allow for the addition of an intensive day treatment program, which will be a first of its kind in Missouri. This program will support patients with more intensive therapy five days a week and provide multidisciplinary care and overall family support for patients.

Thompson Center operations are set to move to the new building in early 2026.
