North Building Master Plan

Technology Suite •

• •

Tech Suite includes an Innovation Hub (iHub) which has begun to serve as a classroom for courses such as Computer Science and Robotics, and a DropIn Room which will be open to students throughout the day to work on projects. Both spaces are available for naming.

The Drop-In Room will include a full-time facilitator to work with students.

Integrating the iHub and curriculum is a focal point in our Strategic Plan.

Technology Suite – iHub and Drop-In Room “When you walk into this space, you’re just ready to code.” Blake Wilson ‘26

New Entranceway •

Opportunity to implement new security measures.

5

Kulsar – McCarthy Lobby and Welcome Center • •

New space more accurately reflects who we are as a school.

Student space, multiple collaborative workspaces and Admissions Suite all needed.

6

High-Tech Media Conference Center •

Class, student and faculty meeting, collaboration and rehearsal space.

“The possibilities this new Conference Center present are limitless. Our Model UN team will use this space regularly. In addition to having a more professional setting for our delegates to practice in, we will be able to record and review our sessions to determine the most effective ways to communicate our ideas.

Wherever a student’s academic interests may lie, all students can benefit from learning to command the attention of a conference room.” Cecelia Visco ’21 7

Christina Jun Murphy ’22 Student Commons • •

Much needed dining and workspace.

Fewer lunch periods allow for greater individual student schedule flexibility.

The Christina Jun Murphy Commons was instrumental in our ability to re-open school in September. The additional space allows students to maintain social distancing during the critical lunch periods.

Campaign Success to Date •

Building on the Tradition of Innovation #TUSTimeIsNow has raised $7.3M in cash and pledges, including three seven-figure pledges.

•

The exciting new spaces provide Ursuline donors the opportunity to add their names or the name(s) of a loved one to spaces or programs that are particularly meaningful.

There are also many places on campus, unrelated to the Innovation Campaign, that have been secured by Campaign donors because they more accurately reflect their family’s interests. The decision to contribute to a Campaign is very personal and so we look to find the right “fit” for all who support this important effort in such generous ways.

•

Several additional leadership level commitments are currently under consideration as we look to reach our goal by 7/31/21.

The Schenk Family Legacy at Ursuline The Ursuline School is ever grateful to the Schenk family for their extraordinary gifts to the school, most especially their daughters Ciara ’11, Sinead ’13 and Siobhan ’15 who thrived academically, spiritually and athletically during their middle and high school years. With Eileen Davidson as their Advisor, reinforcing the encouragement received at home, Ciara, Sinead and Siobhan soared! We were also delighted to also have Allison ’14 and Emily ’16 Schenk join the community, explore new interests and participate in clubs during their high school years.

Aine’s service on the Board of Trustees, Turf Field Committee, Fulfilling the Promise Campaign Cabinet, and of course her leadership as Advancement Committee Chair at a critical juncture in Ursuline fundraising, paved the way for the great progress that ensued.

Add to that your engagement of Mary Reynolds to design the JB Nicholson Commons, ongoing admissions recruitment in the local community, introduction to Walking with Purpose, and of course, your extraordinary generosity over the years, and the Schenk family has already created an exciting legacy for which we offer our heartfelt thanks!

As we look to complete the Innovation Campaign at such a challenging time, we ask you to consider further securing the Schenk legacy at The Ursuline School with a leadership gift or pledge to this transformative effort.
