The Landon School Master Plan consisted of constructing a new Upper School building, renovating and modernizing the existing Lower School and Middle School Buildings, and moving a historic building on campus. The multi-phase project also included infrastructure and site improvements that increased campus safety and created a pedestrian-friendly academic quad at the heart of the campus.
Phase 1A of the project involved relocating the historic Andrews House to allow for the construction of the new Boehly Upper School. Boehly Upper School began construction in Phase 1B and houses a dedicated STEM center, which includes state-of-the-art science and engineering labs. The building also features a central skylight common area suited for lectures and presentations and serves as a social gathering space. The existing Upper School building was renovated and modernized with updated technology and classroom configurations before becoming the new home for Landon’s Middle School.
During Phase 1C, the existing Middle School building was renovated to accommodate the Lower School and features a new mechanical system and all new windows and storefronts for improved energy efficiency and increased comfortability.
