Hill-Murray School broke ground Monday on a new student union that will add more than 7,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor space to the Maplewood campus.
The addition, expected to open by December, will grow the campus dining space, create more flexible collaborative learning spaces and make more room for after-school community and alumni events.
The student union is the first capital project in the private, Catholic school’s comprehensive campaign started in 2023 under President Melissa Dan, Foundation Board Chair OJ Rinehart and Board of Trustees Chair Bill Simpson.
It features 4,225 square feet of indoor and 3,300 square feet of outdoor space and will include a new main entrance that connects the campus chapel, cafeteria and the Nicholas Center, which houses individualized counseling and tutoring services.
The school still must raise around $463,000 to meet its $5.5 million goal planned for the student union, Dan said. The strategic plan calls for the school to raise $40 million in four areas over five years, with more than $7 million planned for capital improvements.
