Dr. John Black Memorial Resource Library

Part of the original vision for The Maple Center at One Professional Centre included adding an elevator to make accessible an existing second floor classroom.  We envisioned teaching educational classes, tai chi, yoga and centering pregnancy classes there.  Union Hospital agreed to apply the cost of the addition of an elevator to their building toward the rent for The Maple Center. After much discussion, debate, and consultation with an architect, we  arrived at a plan to develop additional space for The Maple Center.

A vital part of these renovations will also include the addition of the John Black Memorial Resource Library. In an effort to provide our clients with access to the latest information on integrative medicine, parenting, and online medical resources, we plan to open this Library in early 2007.

During the first open house, we received a pledge of support from Charles Toth, who represents local labor union 204.  Mr. Toth was extremely helpful in obtaining letters of labor support from 10 different labor unions and  CDI offered to serve as the general contractor with the help of Steve Arnold, local architect.

Grant writing, tax credits, and other capital fund raising efforts are underway to fund these building projects. Hopefully, with the support of The Maple Center’s generous donors and our community, these much needed improvements will become a reality.
