ONE YEAR LATER THE LUETKEMEYER ATHLETIC CENTER
I
n just one short year, the Luetkemeyer Athletic Center — Calvert’s first designated athletics building — has become an invaluable asset to our School community, allowing Calvert to enhance co-curricular opportunities for students and families alike. Since opening in 2022, the athletic center has hosted countless physical education classes, afterschool games and practices, weekend leagues, and squash matches within its walls, firmly ingraining itself in the daily hustle and bustle of Calvert School.
Funded through the recent Calvert 125 campaign and a leadership gift from Susie and Jack Luetkemeyer ’53, the Luetkemeyer Athletic Center boasts 10 regulation squash courts, an observation gallery, a well-stocked fitness center, and a large turf field. After a year of work, construction on the facility concluded in the summer of 2022, making the 2022-2023 school year its first on Calvert’s campus. The School opened it in style. On September 7, Head Master Andrew Holmgren invited all students and employees into the facility for this year’s all-school kickoff assembly, a celebration of the start of school. Settled on the 13,000-square-foot turf field, more than 700 members of our School community listened as speakers Mr. Holmgren, Mr. Buck ’87, and Ms. Crowley ushered in the new school year.
