Construction Updates

We have officially broken ground on Build for the Future, the largest capital project since the school’s founding. This exciting milestone marks the beginning of our Campus Master Plan—a bold vision that will transform CCES for generations to come.

The project includes a new loop road that will create a fully pedestrian-friendly campus, the 22,000-square-foot TIDE Building (Technology, Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship), and the 56,000-square-foot Sports Performance Building.

This page will serve as your hub for construction updates, photos, and progress reports as we watch our vision for the future take shape.

Happening Now

  • Temporary Training Center is Open!
    Our relocated Training Center, now underneath the Lower School, is fully operational and ready for student use.
     
  • Fence Screening Installation Underway
    Construction fencing and screening are being installed around campus to ensure safety and to clearly define the build zones as work progresses.
     
  • TIDE + Sports Performance Building Footprint Takes Shape
    The former US parking area will close after January 16th and officially become a part of the construction site for the TIDE Center and Sports Performance Building—another exciting step toward bringing these transformative spaces to life!

What’s Scheduled Next

  • New Student Parking Opens January 20!
    Temporary student parking on the former softball field officially opens Tuesday, January 20. Faculty and staff teams will be on-site throughout the week to help guide traffic and support students as they get familiar with the new layout.
     
  • Upper School Turnaround Shifts Near McCall Field House
    The new Upper School drop-off/pick-up turnaround will now be located near McCall Field House. Please note: no cars will be permitted in the previous US parking area as it transitions to an active construction zone.
     
  • Sports Performance Building Foundation Digging Begins Next Week
    Site work is moving quickly as grading gives way to foundation preparation.
     
  • TIDE Building Foundation Digging Begins Late February
    Major progress is anticipated as foundational work begins for this signature academic space.
     
  • Utility Shafts Coming in February
    Shafts housing critical infrastructure—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and data—will be installed next month, bringing essential systems to life beneath the new buildings.

Campus Safety + Logistics

  • Construction Hours + Campus Protocols
    Construction teams will be on campus from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday–Friday. All non-CCES workers will be wearing distinctive clothing and have been thoroughly vetted by our construction partners.
     
  • Safety + Security Are Top Priorities
    CCES is collaborating closely with Brasfield & Gorrie to maintain the highest possible safety and security for students, faculty, and staff. All construction areas will remain fenced off as standard practice.
     
  • ReWa Utility Work on Wenwood Drive (Not CCES Related)
    Clearing and construction work for ReWa’s Conestee Force Main project has begun on Wenwood Drive. This utility pipe installation project has been in planning for more than 10 years. (Insert link here for more information.)

Thank You for Your Partnership

Every step brings us closer to a once-in-a-generation transformation of campus—fueling innovation, wellness, and student life for years to come!

 

The construction schedule is tentative and subject to change due to weather and supply impacts.
