The changes associated with re-envisioning the use of space in the Banks Street building

present the right time to construct a new building to meet the current and future needs

of the school. The new building will ensure that school business and classrooms no

longer physically overlap, creating a safer and more focused environment for teachers

and students.

The school’s business affairs which welcome the most visitors to campus, which include

the bookstore, admissions, advancement, maintenance, student check-out, and the

president’s office, among others, will exist in a building physically separated from space

used for academic and formational activities. The re-envisioned space will include a

reception area to appropriately welcome and screen visitors to campus. The building will

serve as the formal main entrance to campus.

The façade of the new building, which faces Will Clark Field along Banks Street, will

be consistent with the architectural elements of the wing constructed in 1953 on

Palmyra Street.
