Achieving New Heights: Capital Campaign and Construction Update
翱翔的地方:格温内斯德慈悲学院高中新君主翼运动
has exceeded $6 million in commitments, reaching 85% of our $7 million goal. This milestone underscores the dedication of alumnae, parents, friends, and foundation partners contributing to fulfill our mission. 我们衷心感谢每一位支持者在使这一重要项目成为可能方面发挥的重要作用. 工程于11月下旬开始,在冬季的几个月里取得了显著的进展. Recent developments include the installation of steel beams. Notably, the Board of Trustees has recently approved the addition of two new classrooms, further enhancing the project's scope and impact.
More than a physical expansion, 新的君主翼是我们承诺为年轻女性提供一个特殊的学习环境的象征. 这个最先进的改造和增加将容纳广阔的协作空间,包括一个新的社区和餐饮公共场所, seminar room, classrooms, 和咨询中心-所有的设计都是为了培养一个充满活力和培养学生的教育经验.
五月份,我们将开始拆除现有的自助餐厅和教师餐厅. 设想的改造将把当前的空间变成一个现代的厨房, servery, touchdown area, and school store. We anticipate completing this portion of the project by early September, just in time for the 2024-2025 academic year. The entire wing is scheduled for completion by January 2025.
这个项目的一个特别之处在于建筑工地靠近我们的自助餐厅和教室, 为我们的学生提供一个前排座位来见证正在进行的转变. For an immersive insight into the construction, we invite you to view the timelapse video and the updated project map below. |

The new Counseling Center space will reflect this growth, featuring a welcoming reception area, six private offices for counselors to meet with students, an executive conference room, and easy access to the new Seminar Room and Community Commons. 这种转变凸显了GMA致力于为每个学生的全面发展提供全面支持. 卡塔利诺家族的承诺体现了“翱翔之地”运动的精神, 尊重仁慈姐妹会的遗产,为我们所有的君主们创造一个培育环境,让他们转变和飞行.
