STEM EXPANSION INCREASES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The Concannon Pavilion was just one part of the overall STEM expansion, the first capital enhancement to The Meadows School campus in 15 years. In addition to the pavilion, the expansion includes a robotics lab, science lab, five classrooms, and several storage spaces.

“We needed more space,” Ramsey said. “Our enrollment started hitting max levels, so we needed more space and wanted to dedicate it to STEM classes.”

The new STEM center tripled the size of the STEM facilities for younger students, who now leave the Lower School building for their science classes and improved hands-on exploration of their studies. There also is a stateof-the-art workshop classroom for both Middle and Upper

Celebrating New Developments

The STEM expansion is just the beginning of a multiyear effort to ensure that our students continue to have access to facilities that allow them to explore, discover, and grow in accordance with our mission and core values. Not only did this project add the necessary space for an expanding student body—it also sets the stage for exciting developments moving forward.

The addition to the Sarah D. Barder Hall Upper School building opened at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year thanks to the generosity of John and Deana McGraw.
