HELP US KEEP OUR MOMENTUM !

HISTORY OF THE MASTER PLAN In 1996, TASIS engaged classical architect and urban designer David Mayernik to develop a Master Plan for the TASIS campus. The result is a long-term plan tailored not only to the needs of our School, but which also serves as a model for the world as an ideal academic community. The guiding idea of the Master Plan is to create a village environment to foster a sense of community, complete with green spaces, open piazzas, and beautiful, multi-functional buildings. The Plan also places sustainable development at the forefront. TASIS has since become renowned as an example and advocate of sustainable campus design, including certification from Swiss Hydro for using only renewable hydroelectric power on our campus.

Campus land expands by 40%; Mayernik extends the Master Plan to the north.

Villa del Sole is renovated into a dormitory.

Ca’ Pietra is renovated for the Admissions Office, Health Center, and IT Center.

M. Crist Fleming Library opens. The building goes on to win a Palladio Award.

Ca’ Gioia is converted to a space for art studios and a classroom.

Aurora opens, providing classrooms and a large multi-purpose room.

Alba renovated, adding three classrooms.

The Palmer Cultural Center opens with a jewel of a theater and art exhibition spaces.

Lanterna opens: dorms, faculty apartments, a common room, and four classrooms.

Fiammetta opens with four classrooms.

The Ferit Şahenk Fine Arts Center opens, with four spacious studios for painting, architecture & design, photography, and ceramics, and the Horst Dürrschmidt Gallery. Below is the Palestrina practice gymnasium.

Campo Science Center opens with eight new state-of-the-art laboratories, three prep rooms, and two general classrooms.

FUTURE OF THE MASTER PLAN • 2015-2018 An expanded sports field will replace the current field in two phases.

• 2018 A 70-car underground garage below the north wing of the field.

• 2019 Swimming pool, basketball court, van parking, maintenance in curve of the road.

• 2029 Corona dormitory and classrooms to replace Alba and Ca’ Gioia.

• 2021 A new Elementary School complex will replace Hadsall and Coach House.

The TASIS Global Village is an internationally-recognized leader in stewardship and sustainability.

Completing the Global Village for an expanding school requires continued dedication, hard work, and financial support over many years. The challenge is enormous and exciting! Since its founding in 1956, TASIS has established its reputation as the oldest and finest American boarding school in Europe, and as we realize our Global Village Master Plan we also have the most beautiful campus in Europe: a shining light for Ticino, and a substantial expression of America’s contributions to international culture.
