Master Planning

Our master plan ensures that our environment better serves our mission through innovative programs, collaborative learning and gathering spaces, and state-of-the-art facilities. Across campus, our goal is to incorporate a brighter, more modern design that will inspire creativity, maximize flexibility, and increase attentiveness and awareness.

Completed in Summer 2023:
The Niblock Center for Intentional Living - By upgrading and re-purposing the Founders' Building, we will create innovative instructional spaces at the true center of campus to serve as a hub for fostering connections and building community. The programs offered will focus on intentional wellness and self-awareness. 

Updated Williams Library Discovery Center - By modernizing and reorganizing the library, we can create spaces that better serve our students and provide an environment for both collaborative and individual learning. 

What’s Next?
Modern Classrooms and Learning Spaces - Our learning spaces will reflect new research on the role that the classroom environment plays in student learning.

Arts & Athletics - Ongoing support of arts and athletics will enhance performance for our students and the community at large, including the FCDS Performing Arts Center.
