Unified and enhanced campus green space, pathways and athletic fields

Phase 1 of this plan was completed in October 2014 with the transformation of the school's athletic fields into a state-of-the-art sports complex that serves as the "Common Ground" linking the two campuses (former CHA and former Springside School). This phase also included new pathways, plantings, and green areas as well as a water management system beneath the fields to support runoff and flooding. 

• Installation of two all-weather fields (turf)
• Significant stormwater management
• Brick and bluestone walkways connecting the Willow Grove and Cherokee campuses and all of the new athletic facilities
• Seven outdoor tennis courts
• Middle School baseball field
• Refurbished Pearson Field with dugouts (for Upper School Baseball)
• Softball field with dugouts 
• Landscaping, including the planting of over 100 native trees
• Construction of the Francis P. Steel ’77 Sports Pavilion
• Refurbishment of Talbot Field
• New scoreboards
• Metal fencing along Willow Grove Avenue
• Reconstructed parking lot (now the Stadium Lot)
• Construction of Maguire Stadium on Landreth Field with locker rooms, storage, and bathroom
• New track (in Maguire Stadium, surrounding Landreth Field)

Construct new academic facility for Lower School Boys and Girls

• McCausland Lower School (72,000 square feet): 11 boy’s classrooms, 11 girl’s classrooms, 2 music classrooms, a multipurpose gym, 2 dedicated language classrooms, 3 science labs overlooking the SCH woods, library
• Unique features of the McCausland Lower School include: 3 flex spaces for CEL and collaborative work including video / sound production and a dynamic Maker Space, a grand entrance lobby with a welcoming fireplace (in the spirit of the Wissahickon Inn)
• Playscapes and an outdoor amphitheatre made from natural stone that encourage the imagination and connect students with the surrounding environment
• A large community space that overlooks the SCH woods
• A cafeteria that enforces the school’s commitment to sustainability by supporting waste reduction and recycling

Include Middle School Entrance Area and Cafeteria 

• New Middle School entrance with light filled gathering area that includes renovations to the school store and cafeteria

Parking, Pavement, and Paths for Lower and Middle School Area

• Reconfigured bus loop to streamline traffic flow and ease congestion during pick-up and drop-off times.
• New 115-space parking lot, between Lower School and Middle School, will serve faculty and guests of both divisions
• Continuation of brick and bluestone walkways connecting the Vare Field House, athletic facilities, and academic buildings

As the third and final phase of the school’s 2012 Campus Master Plan, renovations to the Rec (SCH's Upper School performance venue) will support SCH’s rich history of the arts. The ambitious renovation plan for the Rec, estimated to total $6 million, will transform this treasured space appropriate for a wide range of musical, theatrical, and community events.

• Create a student hub / athletic complex / cafeteria space that will connect the Inn, the gyms, and the Rec for walkable access.
