O
ver the summer, construction on campus led to many new changes across the board, including improvements to Egan Library, debate room and campus store. Egan Library has been remodeled into a larger, more collaborative, and modern environment. According to Mrs. Keri Kolettis, the addition of The Edge Room, located east of the library, has been a great aid to the productivity and efficiency of both the STEM and TSA programs, allowing the students to have more space to foster new ideas. “The expanded Edge space promotes a positive entironment where I can be creative and think of new and innovative ideas to benefit the community,” Ashlyn McGinn ‘22 said.

The debate room moved from the student union to the old student store building, across from Stacy Auditorium. “It’s a lot better than the old office, there is more space that allows for more students, I feel the new room is a huge improvement,” debate student Dylan Friedland ‘22 said. The addition of the new campus store by the Lower School playground and a redesign of the store in the Upper School, allowed students and parents alike to shop for school spirit wear and supplies in an engaging environment to try-on the new panther themed merchandise. “I think the new store is a lot more practical,” Emily Davidovic ‘20 said. “It’s easier to find what you want with new layout.”
