Building Our Future in Loveland: Campus Renovation Update
We are filled with deep gratitude as we witness the Lord’s hand guiding the construction of our new home! It is incredible to look back just a few months ago to March, when the installation of sheetrock first began to define our classrooms and hallways. Today, by God's grace, the transformation of the Loveland Campus is moving forward steadily, and the beautiful final product He has in store for our students is truly in sight.
Here is where our construction and renovation stands as of June 16:
-
Walls & Flooring: The walls are now entirely up, taped, painted, and complete! In addition, all of the flooring throughout the building is completely installed.
-
Ceilings & Infrastructure: The ceilings are mostly complete, with just a few open areas left exposed where crews still require access for final mechanical adjustments.
-
Bringing Rooms to Life: The interior is quickly transforming from a construction site into a school. Teams are actively assembling and installing classroom and office furniture. Meanwhile, work is underway on our vital community spaces: the front reception area, the kitchen, our campus chapel, and the highly anticipated student center and coffee shop!
-
Exterior & Curb Appeal: Progress isn't just happening indoors. Outside, a brand-new front walkway has been poured, and fresh landscaping is being installed to welcome our students, families, and guests.
Step by step, this space is becoming a true sanctuary for Catholic Classical Education. The finish line is drawing near, but there is still much to be done. Please continue to pray for the safety of the workers, the stewardship of this project, and the success of our new Loveland campus!
St. John Paul II, pray for us.
