Goal
CFA will provide quality facilities necessary to serve its growing number of both students and programs. Research shows that more activities and options increase the likelihood of not only positive participation in school programs, but also increased opportunities for students to find new passions and self-esteem.
Strategies
- Improve and increase the academic classroom space
Dedicated classroom space is needed for the Foundations Program as it serves the needs of more and more students. As waiting lists of potential students for each grade level continue to grow, the need for additional classrooms will increase proportionally.
- Improve and expand athletic facilities
Currently, an expanding CFA has more teams than practice spaces. Building additional outdoor athletic facilities, either adjoining the campus or off campus, could allow three fields instead of the current two, while opening space on the present campus for future construction and/or campus parking. In addition, a new indoor facility will lessen
off-campus and late practices. Furthermore, it will allow increased physical education.
- Build a new fine arts center
The performing arts department has one of the school’s strongest programs. We currently experience success despite the hindrances of our limited space. At present, there is an overuse of Cameron Commons resulting in scheduling conflicts that are not easy to resolve without diminishing some facet of school life.
- Finance and manage any new facilities after their construction
A school must plan adequately to fund new construction and also to manage and fund operations and upkeep of these new additions in the same responsible manner in which the existing assets are currently managed. This will be done by increasing Endowment and/or Reserve Funds.
