St. Luke’s – Phase III

Phase III completes the $78 million transformation of a 300,000 square foot vacant hospital building and surrounding area into a community campus.  The renovated space is the new home to Breakthrough Schools’ award-winning The Intergenerational School (TIS), the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland, two early childhood classrooms from the Centers for Families and Children, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, and the Saint Luke’s Foundation.  The first two phases of the project included 137 affordable housing units for seniors, the Harvey Rice School and Rice Branch Library as well as extensive streetscape and public improvements to the Buckeye neighborhood.
