Breaking New Ground
Bringing Forward the Next Phase of our
Master Facilities Plan Announcing the addition of the Klein Family Natatorium and a new Performance Gym
I
N FEBRUARY, Head of School Mark Reed announced that four generous donors, who have already made commitments to the current capital projects, have made additional significant pledges to support the next phase of Country Day’s master facilities plan. This generous investment and demonstration of support in the school’s mission and leadership allows the school to break ground this spring on the Klein Family Natatorium and a new Performance Gymnasium. The school is incredibly grateful for the $10 million lead gift from the Klein family, support from the Dowd Foundation, and two additional anonymous donors totaling $30.5 million that allow us to fund and begin construction on these two new athletics facilities. These new facilities will not only serve students in meaningful ways but also cement Country Day’s position as a national leader in education.
We believe that athletics play an important role in student development and are an integral part of the school’s fabric. It has always been our hope that Country Day could have a swimming facility to support its athletics program and to promote water safety for its students and the community. We are happy to be a part of making that happen.” –Fred Klein Jr.
