Under Construction:
THE HUB by: Bethany McMillon Last spring, LCA revealed plans to renovate the Lower School library. The renderings made the children exclaim with delight: “I can’t wait to sit on the new couches with my friends! They look so soft!” said Barrett Maynard (’35), his 4-year-old body bouncing in the old wooden chair. The announcement was met with enthusiasm from the youngest Preschool patrons to LCA grandparents, and if you’ve stepped foot onto the Lower School campus any time since July, you too could probably feel the excitement. Beginning in November 2019, the library team worked closely with the facilities, development, and marketing teams to design a space to serve as a hub of learning and literacy, which is how the teams came up with the new name: The HUB. The new space will feature brighter lighting, raised ceilings, dynamic collaborative space, new technology, expanded reading collections, and an updated and vibrant color scheme — “It’s beautiful! Green is my favorite color!” said Vivi Hermes (’34), as she marveled at the flexible seating in the renderings— and outdoor light will now filter in by way of additional windows.
