We are off and running! Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Unquowa community, Phase 2 of the campus improvement projects has begun.

With the hope that we would raise enough to move forward this summer, our team of architects and contractors worked closely with the school’s leadership all winter and spring to prepare and plan as much as possible ahead of time. As a result, we were ready to begin work immediately after school ended.

As part of the renovations and expansion of the Upper School science lab and the fifth grade classroom, the old walls are being demolished and the framing of the new ones has begun. Windows are being removed to allow for the installation of a bumped out greenhouse overlooking the corral and new storage will be created for both classrooms. At the same time, new fire sprinklers are being installed throughout the Upper School section of the school.

Watching the usable academic space grow as work progresses is thrilling. It is easy to see how this enlarged and renovated area will benefit Unquowa students. These improvements will allow for more in-depth and long term projects, a reflection of the school’s core philosophy of hands-on and experience-based learning.

Thank you, again, to everyone whose generous support helped us reach this interim goal of The Campaign for Unquowa!

Stay tuned for more photos and updates throughout the summer.
