Campus Construction Update
Flowers aren’t the only things blooming at McDonogh this spring. Over the
winter, construction has continued at a steady pace on two major additions to
campus: Marc Village and the Fader Innovation Center.
Marc Village
Visible from McDonogh and Lamborn Roads is Marc Village, a housing
community for faculty and staff that is replacing the Chapel Hill Road
neighborhood on the south end of campus. Named in honor of benefactor Marc
Blum ‘60 who is the lead donor on the project, the village has also received
funding from the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation.
Upon completion by David S. Brown Construction Enterprises, the 17 new
residential structures will increase the amount of campus housing at McDonogh.
A total of 38 housing units are contained within these structures, including 26
three-bedroom units and 12 one-bedroom units.
Blum, a former trustee and board president, has seen first-hand the benefit
of
campus housing in enhancing the sense of family at McDonogh. Among other
things, campus residents enjoy dinner with the boarders and regularly welcome
them into their homes. This spirit of community is one of the many reasons the
school continues to attract and retain quality faculty and staff.
For months, it has been easy to follow the progress of Marc Village as the
houses
were framed and roofs were added. They began to feel like homes in early March
when porches were added. Once the windows and exterior doors were installed,
the interior work began. Plumbing and electrical work are nearing completion,
and flooring, woodwork, and drywall installations are now taking place. Later this
spring, siding will be added, and the village will be landscaped.
If all continues to proceed as planned, campus families will move in before
school begins in the fall.
Fader Innovation Center
Construction on the 7,000 square-foot Fader Innovation Center, adjacent to
the
Rollins-Luetkemeyer Athletic Center, has also been moving at a steady pace and
is scheduled to be completed in July. Made possible by a generous lead gift from
the Fader family, the cutting-edge space will house McDonogh’s expanding
robotics and engineering programs. It will also feature an auto bay where
students can directly experience the fundamentals of physics, math, and
chemistry by working on cars.
Based on input from Upper School engineering, robotics, and design
teachers
and their students, the Fader Center, with its open floor plan, will feature
innovation bays, an auto shop, a formal presentation space, and an engineering
work space. A handful of faculty members are looking forward to using the
building as a place to grow their new curriculum titled, “SEED: Social
Entrepreneurship, Engineering, and Design.” Additionally, it will be a place for
extracurricular activities such as the Automobile Club and Girls Who Code. With
Innovation as its middle name, the possibilities for how the Fader Innovation
Center will be used are endless.
