On Friday, September 4, 2020, Vermont Day School held a small, socially distanced, Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to commemorate the opening of their new school building and to celebrate the beginning of the new school year.
The school had nearly outgrown its current space and built a 7,000 square foot addition to accommodate new classrooms, a dedicated space for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), and a community gathering space. “We are growing with intention,” confirms Bagnato. “We are so excited to have this larger space to accommodate student demand and to fully realize our vision for building community partnerships, high quality STEM curriculum, and quality project based learning.”
Designed by TruexCullens and constructed by Wright and Morrissey, the building project began, before the pandemic, in the late fall of 2019. It was finished just in time for the school to open for full time, in person learning this fall. Notes Bagnato, “We are so grateful for the extra space this year. Along with our small class sizes, we can really spread out students and staff in an effort to keep everyone as safe as possible.”
