A
capital campaign to improve the facilities for the students at St. Cecilia
Academy and Overbrook School.
Introduction
For over 140 years, St.
Cecilia Academy has offered the women of Nashville a strong college
preparatory curriculum in a Christ-centered, caring environment. To
guarantee that this tradition of excellence continues into the new
millennium, we are committed to making the St. Cecilia of tomorrow a
reality today.
Through the hard work and
generous gifts of many parents, alumnae, staff and friends, St. Cecilia is
preparing for the future with a $5.8 million building addition that will
provide new, science and technology oriented state-of the-art facilities
for working, teaching and learning as well as a new kitchen and dining
hall.

The
Project
Phase I: A new Science
and Administration building, measuring nearly 24,000 square feet, will
provide:
Research Center:
State-of-the-art classrooms will provide lecture and demonstration space
as well as highly sophisticated equipment for research projects to help
our students better prepare for college-level science courses.
Physics, Biology and
Chemistry Centers:
New, dedicated classrooms with lecture and demonstration space including
labs equipped with sophisticated instruments and computer technology.
Environmental Laboratory:
This unique lab will give students the opportunity to study live plants
and small animal life in a school setting and to learn the sophisticated
art of hydroponics gardening and environmental conservation.
Computer
Technology Center:
This lab will be equipped with the latest in computer technology and
equipment. Destined to become one of the busiest places on campus, the
center will assist in integrating technology across the curriculum.
Conference and Lecture
Hall:
This high-tech classroom will allow us to host guest lecturers via
videoconferencing and live presentations
Newly Renovated Classrooms:
After the addition is complete, many current classrooms will become
available and will be renovated to provide flexible space for other
curricular areas.
Main Entrance Hall:
A beautiful new main entrance to be named “Alumnae
Hall” in honor of our past students, will communicate that St.
Cecilia is a place of beloved tradition and innovative learning. Also,
through this addition, all areas of the school will become accessible to
people with disabilities.
Administrative Center:
The new Administrative Center will house administrative and enrollment
offices near the main entrance of the new wing. This central location will be
more convenient for parents and students, and will facilitate
collaboration and communication throughout the school
Phase II: Dining Hall
and Kitchen:
In response to parent
concerns, the project includes new and improved dining facilities and a
new , larger kitchen. St. Cecilia and Overbrook School will have separate
dining and serving facilities that are designed with the flexibility to be
joined into one area for large events.

Alumnae
Hall
The highlight of the
construction plans is a beautiful new main lobby that will create a
well-defined main entrance for the school. Although there are several
naming opportunities attached to the entire project, it is our vision to
name the lobby “Alumnae Hall”. The St.
Cecilia Alumnae Association is actively working to raise the
$500,000 needed to make this dream come true!
Imagine, a modern and
welcoming open area where students and staff could gather, relax for a
moment or wait for a ride. Visitors and guests could enjoy the history of
St. Cecilia as the built-in display cases can be filled with St. Cecilia
memorabilia from years past. Additionally, permanent donor recognition
plaques will be displayed prominently to recognize contributors to the
project.
