Plan

Key Elements

Expanded Campus Footprint

  • The new land along Mauldin Road represents an 30% increase in the size of the campus and is contiguous to the original campus through a deeded easement.
  • The Campus was approximately 72 acres and has now grown to 94 with the recent land acquisitions.
  • This will allow the academic heart of campus to remain centered around the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, preserving open spaces nearby that could be used for future academic buildings.
  • The new land's flexibility will allow all three divisions to remain on a single campus long into the future, preserving the family feel of the CCES community.
Technology, Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship (TIDE) Building

  • 22,000 square feet of new academic space to include classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and a grab-and-go cafe for additional lunch options. The building will be connected to the Upper School by an elevated walkway and a courtyard for gathering on the first floor for additional learning and gathering opportunities.

  • Seating/gathering space for meeting in the open lobby space

  • Dedicated space for learning labs and collaboration rooms where technology, design, and business innovation intersect

Sports Performance Building & Athletic Fields

  • This 56,000 sq ft building will ultimately house an 10,000 sq ft double court gymnasium, competition arena with seating for 1,200, 4,500 sq ft strength and conditioning space, a 3,500 sq ft dedicated wrestling space, a 1,500 sq ft training center with access to the trainer’s room and hydrotherapy, 10 New Modern Locker Rooms and Bathrooms, Elevated indoor track, New Lacrosse and Field Hockey Field, Additional Practice Field on New Land

Wellness Center

  • 72,000 sf that will replace the current McCall Field House

  • This building would include new dining rooms with a centralized kitchen for all divisions, conditioning space for non-athletes, health and wellness classrooms, and an additional gymnasium for practice and use by the Lower School during the day, among other possibilities.

  • By freeing up the cafeteria space in the Middle and Upper School buildings, that space can be repurposed for academic uses designed to continually improve the academic experience for our students.

  • McCall Field House will continue to be maintained and remain in place until the construction of the full gymnasium is complete to avoid downtime

Loop Road Creating a Pedestrian-Friendly Campus

  • The Campus will feel more like a small college with all traffic pulled to outside roads with sidewalks for safe transitions throughout the campus.

  • Lower and Middle School carpools will now queue on campus and pull traffic off Cavalier Drive and Wenwood Road, creating a safer driving experience for parents and our neighbors.

  • A single main entrance along Cavalier Drive will enhance safety and security on campus.  Egress gates will remain available for afternoon carpools and events.

The campus master plan allows us to align the physical infrastructure with our teaching and learning practices. The TIDE Building represents our commitment to fostering a forward-thinking learning environment that empowers students to take bold ideas and develop them from concept to reality. The spaces, tools, and resources provided will support and ignite the innovative, entrepreneurial, and community-minded spirit that our students embody.”DR. ANGELA ALLEN
Associate Head of School

This 22,000 sq ft state of the art building will not only provide much needed gathering and instructional space, but it will make teaching and learning at CCES even more visible. The building will include collaboration and community spaces, classrooms, maker spaces, and outdoor learning spaces. Together, the TIDE Center and Sports Performance Buildings will provide a new "front door" to the school.

FAQS

The thoughtful and collaborative process Christ Church embarked upon these past several years while putting together our campus master plan allowed us to target the immediate needs of our athletic programs and granted us the opportunity to be forward-thinking in our commitment to excellence.  The new Sports Performance Building will be a dynamic space that empowers all of our students to reach their greatest potential.”MOLLY MILLER
