Seton Catholic Breaks Ground On Air Conditioning Project

Seton Catholic Prep has begun construction on a new air conditioning project for McMahon Gymnasium as part of their larger efforts to build a brand-new Event Center on campus. The Event Center will feature a new gymnasium/event center space for sports and extracurricular activities, added classrooms, and adequate space for celebrations and civic engagement.

This summer’s construction, which has already begun, will include the expansion of the mechanical yard, installation of an HVAC unit, the addition of chiller lines from the mechanical yard to the gym and the addition of other infrastructure that will be needed for the larger Event Center project. Expected completion is in early August.

Funding for the project has come from generous donations to the Founded in Faith – Building on Excellence capital campaign. Additionally, Seton Catholic is the recipient of a $132,500 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant from the Arizona Sports & Tourism Authority for the air conditioning unit.

“Part of the vision for Seton Catholic includes what our facilities and grounds will look like in 2027 when we celebrate 70 years. The community response has been great with over $5 million in grants and donations over the past three years to modernize our campus through various improvement projects. Adding air conditioning to McMahon Gym supports this vision and we are all excited to start the next school year with this becoming a reality by the first day of classes in August.” Victor Serna, principal, said.

AvAir Award

Jared Knights, director of quality assurance at AvAir, has received the prestigious Edward J. Glueckler award from the Aviation Suppliers Association (ASA). Each year, the Edward J. Glueckler Award is given to an individual in recognition of outstanding commitment, dedication and contribution to the Aviation Suppliers Association and to the aviation industry.

Congratulations Jared, on your achievement! Thank you for all you do at AvAir and for our community.

Aviation is a major part of Chandler’s history. In fact, Dr. A.J. Chandler envisioned the city having an airport when he founded our community. He would be impressed to know that his vision for an airport ended up as one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country.
