On Tuesday, KDKA was given a behind-the-scenes look at the construction site. Once it's finished, the new facility in Uptown will become a hub for vision, rehab and research.

On the rehab side, the 410,000-square-foot tower will include 10 exam rooms and a rehab space with a healing garden that has grass, gravel, ramps and steps to help navigate different types of outdoor spaces before people face them in a real-life setting.
