Coming Soon: Exciting Upgrades to Our Infirmary and Medical Liaison Office
Over the past decade, our campus has undergone significant transformations with beautiful upgrades and renovations, including the Lower School, science lab, gym, track, dorm bathrooms, administrative offices, art gallery, Rec Room, Little Theater, and more. With so many improvements, you may be curiously wondering, “What is next?”
If you have visited the campus in the past couple of months, you may have noticed the current construction of a new student lounge located on the first floor of the west end of the building, as well as the chapel restoration (chapel details on page 64). With these upgrades fully funded and in progress, we launched fundraising efforts during Parents Weekend to renovate the infirmary and medical liaison office.
As many alumni will recall and can attest, the infirmary is a familiar place tucked away in a quiet corner of the school that students rely upon when they’re not feeling well, whether it’s a scraped knee, a scratchy throat, or a fever. This space is one of the many aspects of the school that makes Delphian feel like a home away from home, especially for boarding students whose parents are miles away.
After decades of use, it’s time to take it down to the studs and rebuild it with updated amenities and even more comforting touches to help every student feel at home while recovering.
The updated infirmary will be a beautifully modern and cozy space that will include two additional bathrooms, an expanded kitchenette, a private screening and treatment area, and in-house laundry facilities. These improvements will enable students to rest and recover quickly, allowing them to return to the many activities and opportunities offered at Delphian.
The goal is to raise $1 million over the coming months, with hopes of starting renovations as early as the 2026 school year. Thanks to the generous support of guests at Parents Weekend, the project is off to a fantastic start, having already raised $600,000 in donations and pledges towards the overall goal.
Our next fundraising event will take place during our annual Alumni Weekend, where we hope to make significant progress toward reaching our target.
