Community Benefits
At 77,000 square feet, The Legacy Center enables STA to recover organs and tissues for lifesaving transplants, spearhead advanced transplantation research, train organ and tissue recovery professionals, and educate communities about its mission. The new facility centralizes STA’s administrative offices and call centers, streamlining their processes, to potentially triple the number of annual tissue donors. The project supported 75 construction jobs, created 82 permanent jobs and retained 120 full time jobs. NMTC allocation was utilized for capital improvements, including technology and equipment that will help the organization save more lives.
