Rendering of Ursuline Academy Athletic Center / Architectural Resources Cambridge
Dedham, MA – Groundbreaking ceremonies were held May 16 for a new 40,000sf Athletic and Convocation Center on the Dedham campus of Ursuline Academy, an independent Catholic school for girls in grades 7-12.
Designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge, the new two-story center will be built on the highest point of the campus, overlooking the school buildings and athletic fields. C.E. Floyd Company is the construction manager.
The new multipurpose building provides much-needed community, academic, and athletic space for students and faculty. Three new classrooms will accommodate a growing student population, and a flexible innovation space will allow for hands-on learning experiences including an expanded Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum.
Athletic, health, and wellness facilities will include a fitness and strength training room, a large gymnasium for basketball, volleyball as well as a suspended jogging track and locker rooms. A large community and meeting space will offer multiple options for alumnae, parents, students, and community gatherings.
