Just as the final phase of the redeveloped Nursery School Playground nears, we are excited to announce that construction of the Sports Deck, the final facilities project funded by the Campaign for St. Patrick's at Sixty, will begin during Spring Break. The four- to five-month timetable for completion of the Sports Deck shows that this exciting new setting for outdoor play will be ready for student use at the beginning of the 2019-2020 academic year. The 5,450-square-foot play surface will be built on a platform above the outdoor parking pad on the west end of the Gymnasium & Performance Center. It will provide a significant expansion of our outdoor facilities that will enhance opportunities for student play and skills development.
