A space to learn, grow, and play

Ursuline Academy

The Athletic & Convocation Center at Ursuline Academy is a vibrant hub of student life. A key component to creating a sense of place for the entire community is the diversity of spaces that allow for fitness and wellness to be available to all students. It was also important to create flexible, multipurpose spaces that serve a range of program needs such as athletic space for games and practice, fitness and training areas and innovation lab space. Taking advantage of the significant location on campus, the focus on views to campus and athletic fields was driver of the architectural solution.

The building features a two-court gymnasium with seating for 700 for sporting events and school assemblies and is encircled by a mezzanine-level indoor running track, creating an energetic multipurpose gathering space.

The I.D.E.A. Hub offers students a space to Innovate, Design, Engage, and Apply themselves as they grow into creative problem solvers and empowered digital citizens. Using tools and technologies such as laser cutters, 3D printers, virtual reality equipment, and a range of photography and video gear, students practice generating ideas and bringing them to life while mastering new technologies.
