Representatives from the Thompson Foundation and University of Missouri convened at South Providence Medical Park this afternoon for a topping out ceremony of the Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopment, a 75,000 square foot clinical and research facility dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. The celebration included remarks from the Thompson Center’s executive director Dr. Connie Brooks and signing of the building’s final steel beam.
The project is the culmination of a longstanding partnership between the Thompson Foundation and SFS Architecture, including a master plan in 2008, existing building renovation in 2011, concept study in 2021, and complete design services in 2022. SFS was on hand to celebrate the occasion and congratulate the project team.
Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2025.
