Building improvement plans: library ☑ west gym reno is next...

As introduced in the last issue, we continue with debt-free plans to update our current facilities for efficiency and/or to enhance the functionality based on faculty and staff recommendations. While the locker room reno we introduced in spring is still in progress due to some supply chain issues, we have successfully completed the library/ study hall remodel.

This success allows us to plan for the next goal—a West Gym reno to improve the chapel experience for whole school assemblies and provide more of an auditorium-feel for fine arts performances through a new retractable seating system, acoustical and aesthetic enhancements. We are hoping to garner donations through the early part of 2022 that will allow us to stay with an early summer start date in order to utilize the new features by start of school in August.

Below is a photo progression of the study hall reno from the “300 hallway” door. Goodbye, Superman v. Batman—you’ll live on in our fond memories.

Library before

As we introduced in the last issue, above is the “before” of the library’s north wall. The renovated space has become the study hall (previously in the lower level) and has also been used for several meetings and other functions, including the call meetings (below).
