Admissions Building — COMPLETED

For almost a century, the sprawling complex at the center of Brooks School's campus — that includes the Head of School’s House, Frick Dining Hall, the Dalsemer Room and the Alumni Building — has played a central role in the Brooks experience, housing a beloved dining hall, offering a picturesque spot for dances or meetings, and even serving as a dormitory.

Beyond use and repair at this point, the space is about to change and evolve again, into a new admission building that will offer stunning views from the waiting room over the fields leading to Lake Cochichewick.

Not only will the new admission building provide prospective families an impressive space to gather, the indoor and outdoor areas will give the current Brooks community room to comfortably come together at the literal and figurative heart of campus.

"The function and feel of the middle of campus," says Head of School John Packard, "will be transformed."

New Main Entrance — COMPLETED

Creating a traffic pattern that highlights the beauty of our campus, while also pedestrianizing Main Street, is central to completing our ongoing campus master plan.

The purchase of 1116 Great Pond Road in 2017, which boasts 19 acres of pastoral land that abuts the southern edge of campus, allows for a tremendous opportunity to reimagine how the community accesses the campus by car. The new Main Entrance and road utilizes the old 1116 Great Pond driveway, passes through the pastoral setting around Observatory Hill, and merges seamlessly with Chapel Road. 

The old South Entrance has been returned to grassland. Still to come: a redesigned area along Chapel Road will serve as a gathering spot for tennis spectators and teams, and the renovated tennis pavilion will feature a viewing deck. New seating walls adjacent to the tennis courts will resemble those by the Anna K. Trustey Turf Field. 

The new Main Entrance and guard shack will also have a significant impact on the safety of our campus.

“This is now the main entrance to campus, so it allows us to close off the other two entrances to outside visitors,” said Brooks CFO Paul Griffin.
