TEI Renovation: Final Tweaks

The Eye Institute’s $11.2 million renovation project is nearly complete:

Phase I, a redesign of the clinical lower level was completed in May 2011. Examining patients in the new space began on May 31, 2011.

Phase II of the project was finished in December 2011, which included renovations of the facility’s upper level. The “New” Eye Institute’s second floor houses administrative and faculty offices, a classroom, conference rooms and a small cafe that provides a daily selection of lunch items for TEI’s staff and interns. A large area of un-renovated space remains on the upper level and future decisions about the use of this space have yet to be determined.

Final tweaks to the project will occur in the spring, once the temporary module units are removed from the Spencer Street side of the building. At that time, the parking lots will be expanded, resurfaced and restriped along with final cosmetic touches to the exterior facade of the building. We are proud of the new facility and are thrilled to provide an inviting, state-of-the-art practice to the patients we serve.

Children’s Eye Care

Working with the School District of Philadelphia’s school nurses, each year, The Eye Institute provides eye care services to thousands of children throughout Philadelphia’s public schools. Since September through the beginning of February, TEI has provided vision screenings to over 1200 students, of which 550 have failed. Nearly 300 of these children who failed the school vision screening have already been transported to The Eye Institute’s pediatric service for comprehensive eye exams. Approximately 400 pairs of eyeglasses have been distributed to these children.  The Eye Institute is dedicated to providing vision care services to area children and will continue to strengthen its commitment for the remainder of the school year and years to come.
