Logan University (Chesterfield, MO) celebrated the naming of the Carter | Eberline Administration Building with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and building tour on Oct. 24, 2024. The newly remodeled building includes an updated lobby, library, bookstore and coffee area, and expanded student study areas and collaboration spaces.
“The Carter | Eberline Administration Building represents much more than just the completion of renovations; it embodies our shared vision for the future of health sciences and chiropractic education,” said Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “These enhancements are significant and thoughtfully designed to enhance our students’ experience and meet the evolving needs of our community.”
An anonymous donor wished to name the building after two 1979 graduates of Logan’s College of Chiropractic: Paul Eberline, DC (’79), DACBN and Joseph Carter, DC (’79). Dr. Carter, former instructor at Logan and owner of Eastern Carolina Medicine located in South Carolina, attended and spoke at the ceremony.
“As I look around this beautiful campus, and especially this newly renovated building, I am filled with pride,” Dr. Carter said. “Logan University has come a long way since those days in the ‘70s, and its growth and transformation have been extraordinary. The Carter | Eberline Administration Building is a testament to that evolution.”
Though unable to attend in person, Dr. Eberline, a member of Logan’s Board of Trustees and owner of Eberline Family Chiropractic in Iowa, recorded a video message expressing his gratitude that was played during the ceremony.
“Looking around campus at the Fuhr Science Center, the Purser Center and the Montgomery Health Center—these people are giants in our field,” Dr. Eberline said. “To have Dr. Carter’s and my name on a building with that group of individuals is such a wonderful experience and extremely humbling. I am truly honored to be part of this.”
During the ceremony, Chesterfield Mayor Bob Nation honored Logan and Drs. Carter and Eberline with a special proclamation.
“On behalf of the City of Chesterfield, it is my pleasure to recognize Logan University for its commitment to education and for this beautiful facility,” said Nation. “I am pleased to officially recognize Oct. 24, 2024, as Carter | Eberline Administration Building Day.”
Eric Lopez, a trimester 7 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student and Logan Student Government representative, highlighted the positive impact the new renovation has on students.
“I have had the privilege of experiencing firsthand how amazing these renovations are, and on behalf of my fellow students, I want to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the donors who have made this transformation possible,” Lopez said. “The new spaces have truly enhanced our learning experience, and as I see new students coming into the program, I know they will be well-equipped with all the tools and resources they need to be successful, confident, competent practitioners.”
The renovation of the building was made possible by hundreds of supporters who contributed to Logan’s Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign—an investment in leading-edge technology and experiential learning opportunities that have been a part of the university’s curriculum since founder Hugh B. Logan’s first class of seven students in 1935.
