Core of Campus Campaign


Picture of Campus

We are excited to announce a multi-year, multi-phase initiative to upgrade key facilities in the center of campus. At the heart of our beautiful campus and this new capital campaign is our beloved Main Hall.

Already underway, Phase 1 will focus on improving interior spaces in this historic building by revitalizing the lobby of Main Hall and converting multiple small offices into large, tech-rich classrooms to serve our rapidly-growing student body.
