Honoring its past while embracing the future, St. Scholastica Academy is transforming its existing library into a dynamic, multi-use learning environment. Through an ambitious fundraising campaign, the National Blue Ribbon School is reimagining the space to better support collaboration, innovation, and student engagement.
Greenleaf Architects, with three SSA alumnae on the project team, is proud to design a modernized library that will feature three new classrooms, an innovation lab, a student media center, and a student lounge. By dividing the former single-use library into multiple zones, the renovation will create flexible spaces equipped with the technology and resources students need to collaborate, focus, and thrive in a contemporary academic setting. This project not only updates a vital campus resource but also reflects SSA’s commitment to preparing its students for a bright and innovative future.
