Grace College will gain ownership of the building in early 2027, advancing its commitment to STEM education and orthopedic innovation through its Catalyst Corridor project. This project is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. as part of its College and Community Collaboration initiative.<\/p>\n
Zimmer Biomet will relocate its global headquarters across town to 1800 W. Center Street in Warsaw \u2014 the largest orthopedic manufacturing facility in the world.<\/p>\n
The move brings the company\u2019s global headquarters under the same roof as its most expansive manufacturing operation, deepening the connection between strategic decision-making and the advanced manufacturing and engineering capabilities that have defined Zimmer Biomet for decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cWarsaw is where Zimmer Biomet was born, and it will always be central to our future,\u201d said Ivan Tornos, Chairman, President and CEO of Zimmer Biomet. \u201cThis community and its workforce are the backbone of our company and the global orthopedic industry. This donation to Grace College is a token of our gratitude to the community that helped build us into one of the largest medical technology companies in the world. We are proud to see its legacy continue to enrich the Warsaw community and know that its impact will continue to be felt for generations to come, both locally and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 345 E. Main Street facility, known as Building 3, has served as Zimmer Biomet\u2019s global headquarters since 2001.<\/p>\n
Zimmer Biomet will maintain a presence in the building, as will Plug and Play, the global innovation platform that connects startups with leading corporations. The continued presence of organizations such as Zimmer Biomet and Plug and Play reflects the forward-looking, innovation-driven environment that Grace College envisions for the facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are profoundly grateful to Zimmer Biomet for this generous donation,\u201d said Dr. Drew Flamm, President of Grace College. \u201cThis building represents an extraordinary opportunity for Grace College to further expand academic programs through our School of Science and Engineering and create new opportunities for students, researchers and industry partners alike. We look forward to sharing more of our vision to advance Warsaw\u2019s rightful place as the Orthopedic Capital of the World\u00ae and drive innovation and workforce development for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jeff Grose, Mayor of Warsaw, praised the announcement as a testament to the strength of the city\u2019s orthopedic ecosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis announcement is a point of pride for our entire community. Zimmer Biomet\u2019s decision to donate this building to Grace College and to recommit its global headquarters right here in Warsaw speaks volumes about the strength of our workforce, our institutions and our shared future. No other city in the world has an orthopedic ecosystem like ours, and today it just got stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace College, located in neighboring Winona Lake, has expanded its academic programs in recent years to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the orthopedic and medical technology sectors, including the addition of its\u00a0orthopedic MBA<\/a>. Zimmer Biomet\u2019s donation is expected to serve as a catalyst for the college\u2019s continued growth in these areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grace College will gain ownership of the building in early 2027, advancing its commitment to STEM education and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158709,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[95],"tags":[74315,74316,37728,12195,182,181,12191],"class_list":["post-158708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-warsaw","tag-donated","tag-global-headquarters-building","tag-grace-college","tag-orthopedics","tag-poland","tag-warsaw","tag-zimmer-biomet"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/117208229347624006","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158708\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
