Campus Master Plan
"By adopting the master plan, the board has built a framework for sustaining, enhancing, and improving the campus so that we remain an attractive choice for future students and faculty."
-Head of School Margaret R. Broad
St. Margaret's School has a blueprint for renewing its campus while remaining true to its mission. The master plan approved by the Board of Governors in January 2002 offers a flexible, systematic approach for ensuring that the school's facilities will continue to support both its current programs and future aspirations.
The plan was based on a projected maximum boarding enrollment of 120, only 6 more boarders than attend SMS this year. Head of School Margaret R. Broad envisions it guiding the school's facilities decisions for the next 10 to 25 years.
The plan sequences improvements in a series of steps and phases. St. Margaret's implemented the first step of the first phase in summer 2002 when it renovated its largest dormitory, Latané Hall. The work included:
- Reducing humidity and improving air quality by installing a new heating/ventilating/air conditioning system
- Making bathrooms more user-friendly with the addition of vanity countertops and higher showerheads
- Providing added power for computers and other personal electronics by increasing electrical supply to student rooms
- Creating a more welcoming feeling with brighter lighting and an updated lobby area
- Redesigning the dorm's lower level to include a student loungs, fitness room with new equipment and pottery studio
The plan also identifies several projects that can be undertaken any time that funding becomes available. These include:
- River walk
- Riverfront amphitheater
- Parking and lighting improvements
- Off-campus playing fields
- Performing arts center, most likely as a community partnership
- Final restoration of the Anderton and Brockenbrough Houses
