While students were on vacation, busy at their summer jobs, traveling, or soaking up some sun, work on the MICDS campus was moving forward in preparation for fall classes. Beth Miller, Chief Financial and Operating Officer, describes the improvements as “transformational.” An incredible amount of preparation and effort goes into campus improvements each year. ”I want to thank everyone for their work and flexibility, especially facilities,” Miller says.
Notable updates include:
Beasley Lower School Taking Shape
The Beasley House was razed on June 26, allowing construction crews to lay foundations and utilities for the new Beasley buildings. The new Junior Kindergarten room on the north end of Beasley is moving right along!
Completion of the Michael W. & Quirsis V. Riney Family Tennis Center
Opening in time for summer programs to utilize the space, the tennis center is a spectacular facility for players and spectators.
Freeman Arts Building Updates
Classrooms in the Freeman Arts Building were updated. The lower art studio received a new floor and the drama space downstairs was transformed in to a bright, inviting area ready for classes and performance preparation.
C Lot Improvements
The parking surface of C Lot was updated and the the stairs leading from C Lot to the Middle School were replaced, with new railings added.
Shoenberg Bathroom
Lower and Middle School students will enjoy a newly-renovated bathroom in the upper Shoenberg hallway.
North Gym and Pool
New signage now greets students and visitors entering the athletic facilities in the Upper School. The swimming pool in the Steward Family Aquatic Center was also resurfaced in time for our summer camp programs to jump in and splash around!
Welcome back, Rams!
