Surveys, Silt Fences & Site Work — Oh My!

We are excited to announce that the surveyors, stakes, fencing, and dirt moving happening on campus are all part of Carpe Unitas! Site work/improvements are an important step of preparing for our coming gym/community spaces, and starting work now will help to maximize work throughout the summer months while, hopefully, minimizing disruptions to the start of the school year.

Thank you for continuing to cover the entirety of this project in prayer as we continue to raise the funds needed for vertical construction! 

What things are included in site improvements?

In addition to essential improvements like digging/expanding water quality and retention ponds and installing/relocating utilities, our list of site improvements includes:

• Removal/relocation of the current carpool loop from the center of campus to create an agora and central gathering space between all academic buildings that will also improve drop-off and pick-up for our youngest Grammar School students
• Unification of the Upper Grammar School classrooms with a new, purpose-built restroom and boardwalk
• Relocating the 3rd and 4th Grade Grammar School portables to be closer to the new carpool loop
• Addition of a parking lot to include 100+ parking spaces

While most of the work done between now and the summer will not be directly around students, we are limiting campus access to those who have cleared our security processes as well as the security processes of the excavation company. 

When will construction on the gym begin?

The exact timing of (vertical) construction is dependent on fundraising, and we would love to meet with anyone interested in learning more about Carpe Unitas. With over $8.5M in commitments, we have already raised more than anytime before in Veritas’s history, and we are grateful for the generosity, prayers, and partnership of our community. To learn more, please reach out to our Campaign Coordinator, Betsy Cromer. 

Can we see the gym plans?

Yes! Please plan to join us on the last day of school, Wednesday, May 21, for a “plan reveal” before the Year-End Assembly. More details coming soon!
