Waterloo Eye Institute Construction Update

The dry weather has been a benefit allowing the construction of the Waterloo Eye Institute to advance at a rapid pace. The exterior façade is nearly complete, insulation installation is underway, and all but a few windows have been fitted.

Several exam rooms in the primary care clinic have been completed and sound testing is being conducted for patient privacy purposes. The interior drywall work continues and painters are laying the first coat of undercoat and paint. The former clinic is almost unrecognizable from its original layout. Everyone can rest assured that one key feature remains intact.

The spiral staircase that so many of you remember has been preserved and will continue to be a focal point of the Waterloo Eye Institute. It’s hard to believe that construction is set to be completed by the end of 2026 and the grand opening is scheduled in the summer of 2027.
