Logan LIFE Project

Logan Intergenerational Family Education (LIFE) Center is a unique setting that has integrated a nursing home, an elementary school, a gymnasium, a wellness center, and other community rooms into a single facility. This intergenerational facility responds to multiple community needs, including public education, skilled disabled and senior care services, and a community center. The goal of this forward-thinking approach is to improve educational outcomes and enhance the quality of life for residents while maximizing cost efficiency through the centralization of resources.

Through this project, a multidisciplinary team of K-State experts from the Colleges of Arts & Science, Health & Human Sciences, and Architecture Planning & Design will explore the varied impacts of a purposefully developed residential living environment and participation in a structured intergenerational program for older adults and school-aged children. This project is generously funded by the Chapman Foundation.
