Hard Hat Tour Debuts New Hamilton School Spaces The final phase of the Campaign for Wheeler’s campus transformation is underway on the corner of Brook and Angell Streets with the expansion and renovation of the Hamilton School at Wheeler division. Earlier this fall, with the donors to this project on hand for a hard hat tour, the school announced the building will be known as the W. P. Whitaker Building named in memory of the late Hamilton Alumni Parent, Wharton Whitaker. Whit, as he was known, was a passionate and generous supporter of the Hamilton program. In addition, the school announced the naming of the Hale Family Assembly Hall and the Rory and Betsy Smith Conference & Resource Room, both located in the Whitaker building.
“For all that this program meant to Whit and my daughters, he would be very happy and proud today.” Kathi Whitaker (above right) speaking at the event where the new building is named in memory of Whit Whitaker, Hamilton Alumni Parent of Kelsey ‘07 and Courtney ’09.
