Item Information

Title:
Reeds Landing (July, 2003)
Description:
This is a photograph that shows Reeds Landing, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) built on land originally belonging to Springfield College’s East Campus. It shows the four-story main building at Reeds Landing with a large portico attached to the main entrance. Reeds Landing, or Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing, is continuing care retirement community (CCRC) built on land originally belonging to Springfield College’s East Campus. Originally, Bay State Health Systems had the lease for the 23.6 acres of East Campus needed for its construction, but the community is now owned and operated by Loomis Communities. The original lease was approved in January, 1990, by the Board of Trustees as a 75 year lease of the property. According to President Falcone, the lease would provide “income in support of the Springfield College mission.” The Reeds Landing Retirement Community consists of 120 independent living apartments, 56 assisted living apartments and a 42 bed skilled nursing center. Its construction and eventual opening in 1991 was fraught with controversy on the Springfield College campus. The back of the photograph is printed with "July 2003 015 © CN", indicating the dated that the photograph was printed.
