With the plans finalized and the area prepped, we held our Demo Day on September 17th, marking our next step to our forever home. We donned our hard hats and took sledgehammers to the walls, turning what used to be empty offices into a blank canvas for us to build our open, collaborative space. As you read this, our contractors are putting up classroom walls, bringing in new furniture and making sure the space is safe and enjoyable for our students!
Our new space, located on the third floor at 1001 West Loop South, is uniquely designed for collaboration and opportunities to grow our Xavier community and better meet the needs of our students and faculty. Our team, along with a renowned architecture firm and general contractor, have created an innovative space that brings the Xavier experience to life. Our new, integrated campus will offer close proximity to the Houston Arboretum for outdoor hikes and the Bayou trails for fishing trips, large hallways with tall ceilings, science labs and plenty of natural light to encourage collaboration between classroom learning and a multi-purpose room that can be transformed for dance and yoga classes. The 32,000+ square feet of space will provide the perfect space for socially distanced and connected learning among our students and teachers, and give our school the room it needs to serve more families.
We look forward to coming together as a community in our new space by early 2022. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and updates as we bring you along to experience the development of our new space and what's neXt for Xavier Academy!
