Dear Lakeview Family,

 

Good news!

 

The Imagine Capital Campaign to fund a new fine arts instructional center at Lakeview Academy has reached a school high of $6.6 million, and construction will begin at the close of this school year.  This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the generous support of almost 200 donors! Thank you!

 

 

The new two-story facility will house all of Lakeview’s outstanding fine arts programs and include expansive practice space for drama and music.  The youngest to the oldest Lakeview student will have class in this building as well as students taking private music lessons.  Best news of all, this will be done without the school incurring long-term debt. Construction by Carroll Daniel Construction will take one year.

 

The 13,000-square-foot building will be built on the footprint of the existing fine arts annex, which will be torn down.  The partnership with Brenau University will continue with most of Lakeview’s various drama and music productions staged at the Charles D. Walters Theatre in the Brenau Downtown Center.

 

View the building’s renderings, and notice the enlarged outdoor area that will be perfect for student gatherings, performances, and art displays, and will replace the existing deck outside the lower school gym.

 

We are so grateful to all our supporters – each gift makes a difference.  We hope to see many of you on May 15!
