The first in a series of planned summer improvements at Saint Edmond's Academy, this project included the renovation of Lower Form (K–4) classrooms, adjacent corridors, and toilet rooms. The renovations focused on modernizing the learning environment while providing greater flexibility for students and teachers.


Classroom improvements included new windows, HVAC systems, lighting, custom built-in student cubbies, and updated finishes, including the replacement of existing carpeting and asbestos-containing mastic with luxury vinyl tile (LVT). New classroom furniture and movable storage provide a consistent set of furnishings while allowing teachers to configure their classrooms to accommodate different teaching styles and activities.


Adjacent corridors and toilet rooms also received upgraded lighting and finishes. New boys' group restrooms and a single-user women's restroom, which serve visitors during events in the cafeteria and gymnasium, were designed with elevated finishes appropriate for these public-facing spaces.


The impact of the renovations was immediately apparent to students returning for the new school year. Fourth graders enthusiastically described the improved lighting, temperature control, and classroom furniture. One student declared, “This is the best classroom I ever been in!” while another praised the new desks, drawers, windows, and additional whiteboard space.
