达到新的高度:资本运动和建设更新
A Place to Soar: The 格温内斯仁慈学院高中 Campaign for a New Monarch Wing
已超过600万美元的承诺,达到我们700万美元目标的85%. 这一里程碑彰显了校友们的奉献精神, parents, friends, 以及为完成我们的使命而做出贡献的基金会合作伙伴. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each supporter for their instrumental role in making this essential project possible. Construction began in late November, and remarkable progress has been made during the winter months. 最近的发展包括安装钢梁. Notably, 校董会最近批准增加两间新教室, 进一步扩大项目的范围和影响.
不仅仅是物理上的膨胀, the new Monarch Wing is a symbol of our commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment for young women. This state-of-the-art renovation and addition will house expansive collaborative spaces including a new community and dining commons, seminar room, classrooms, and counseling center — all designed to foster a dynamic and nurturing educational experience for students.
In May, we are set to commence the demolition of the existing cafeteria and faculty dining room. The envisioned transformation will convert the current space into a modern kitchen, servery, touchdown area, and school store. 我们预计在九月初完成这部分工程, 正好赶上2024-2025学年. 整个机翼计划于2025年1月完工.
An exceptional aspect of this project is the proximity of the construction site to our cafeteria and classrooms, providing our students with a front-row seat to witness the ongoing transformation. 为了深入了解建筑,我们邀请您 查看延时视频 下面是更新后的项目地图. |

We are grateful for Gwynedd's commitment to excellence and are excited to be a part of it."
