Campaign Updates INVEST IN OUR VISION Over the past few months, several additional supporters within our community have joined the Waterford Rises campaign. We are still working through our quiet phase, requesting gifts at the cornerstone (gifts of $1 million or more) and leadership (gifts of $100,000 or more) levels, and will continue to focus our efforts here for the next several months. We are so grateful to every family, individual, and foundation for your investment in the vision for Waterford’s future. Thank you.

What’s Next SPRINGING AHEAD Shortly after our last newsletter went to print, we selected our general contractor, Okland Construction (okland.com). Okland and our architects, EDA, have been working to complete schematic design, which will include complete floor plans and the buildings’ appearance. EDA’s design process will include spaces that Waterford’s faculty, staff, and students indicated were important, including the spaces listed below. Again, when we receive these design renderings, we look forward to sharing them with you.
“There was no home base as a student. The Student Center is the piece that we never had.” - Waterford Alum
SCIENCE CENTER
STUDENT COMMONS
• Science Commons - to serve as the entrance and connective backbone of the building • Makerspace - a space for multidisciplinary creation and experimentation • Classrooms - core learning spaces to teach the science fundamentals • Faculty room - a space for science faculty that’s accessible for students • Nature lab - a space to store, explore, and display natural specimens • Observation deck - viewing deck overlooking the new turf field • Mud room - threshold space for use by the Outdoor Program
• Entrance/reception - the welcoming ‘front door’ to the campus • Dining hall - the central gathering space of the Commons • Wellness area - space for student wellbeing support • Meeting spaces - bookable spaces for a range of student and staff activities • Hangout space - casual spaces for students to gather and socialize • Dean’s offices - an accessible location for the Deans in the Commons • Student store - a place to sell Waterford goods and merchandise • Kitchen - central catering facility serving the dining hall
