STUDENT LIFE FACILITIES UPDATE
The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation. - Saint Augustine Cascia Hall exists to build minds and hearts. We combine the raw materials of student potential and enthusiasm, parent love and dedication, and educator knowledge and support to build up young men and women to be leaders…today and in the future. We do this in keeping with the framework of our centuries-old Augustinian tradition of education, which is to develop the student: mind, body, and soul. To meet the needs of the new generation of learners, we understand that the school, too, must be built up. With this in mind, the initiative for a new facility at Cascia Hall targeting STEM Education, Athletics & Student Life was conceived. Key features of the facility include: • New learning spaces • Laboratories with prep rooms • Biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) science research laboratory • Robotics shop and playing field • HUB collaborative learning space • Dedicated spirit store location • Outdoor learning extension
• Campus ministry suite • Renovated common spaces • New kitchen and updated serving area • Alumni center • Outdoor gathering plaza • Renovated girls’ and boys’ locker rooms • Renovated and enlarged health and wellness center
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we put our plans aside, but it’s now time for us to consider again the proposition to broaden and deepen the foundations that will prepare our young people to be productive and engaged members of society. In these pages, you will find details of the project. I hope that what you find here will stir your imagination with the tremendous possibilities this venture will provide for our students and school. Even as education has changed significantly, our mission endures. May the Lord look with kindness upon us and grant us His blessing. Peace, Fr. Philip Cook, O.S.A., Ph.D. Headmaster
