Working with the leadership of this Norbertine private college-preparatory school, ABHA Architects developed a phased master plan that extended through 2021.
Recently completed construction, Phase two of the master plan included the addition of a new building to the campus, known as the Student Life Center, to provide a large group meeting space, dining for 250 students, a guidance suite, student health and a new main office. The design goal was for this facility to be centrally located and act as a vital connector between the academic functions in St. Norbert Hall and the athletic functions in the gymnasiums and athletic fields. The new building is sited to create a central green space for the campus, and will complete the quadrangle around this new outdoor student commons. Phase 2 of the master plan also relocated parking to new perimeter lots, renovated the gymnasium, science building and relocated athletic fields.
ABHA Architects helped prepare graphics, presentations, and visualizations of the project to help the Academy meet their fundraising goals without raising tuition. Future phases of the master plan include renovations to the historic 'Patio' Building, and a new Visual Arts and Humanities classroom buildings.
