COMING SOON: SHALLCROSS HALL REIMAGINED CAMPUS LOG
A dramatic renovation of Shallcross Hall will transform a highly functional building into a student center that both upholds our values and inspires the best in our students. Shallcross Hall New Exterior
Built in 1978, Shallcross Hall was designed to be a creative and performing arts center, cafeteria, and Meeting for Worship space. The School did not yet have a campus green, and the building was oriented to front the driveway. The Shallcross Hall that Middle and Upper School students and teachers now experience daily is a highly functional, productive building, yet its architecture does not fully reflect the warmth, vibrancy, and synergy of our community.
New Art Gallery and Atrium
With the renovation, large, beautiful windows and an outdoor seating area will enhance the exterior of the building, welcoming people on the outside into the myriad activities taking place within. From the outside, visitors will see artists at work in their studios and students gathering in both large and small groups in the dining hall and expanded entry area.

FRIENDS’ CENTRAL SCHOOL
The new Shallcross Hall will serve as a true student center, building community by changing the way we interact with one another and by lifting up the importance of the arts to all of us. Entry in the building will reveal a modern and expanded art gallery with an atrium view up to galleries on the second floor. The expanded dining area will ease crowding and create new, varied seating arrangements for groups or individuals. Food service is undergoing its own small revolution, with a focus on increasing the fresh and healthy options and serving them in a way that brings students and teachers into more contact with kitchen staff who are preparing and serving food.
