Capital Project

$10 Million

A central hub for health and wellness on Connor Quad.

 

It is not enough for students to do well at GA. We must ensure that they thrive. While many GA facilities have undergone incredible transformation, the need was great for a space that appropriately prioritizes the physical, social, and mental health of the GA community.


Our Moment

Although construction has begun, capital is still needed to fully fund this transformative project.

Community Health & Wellness Center

The centrally located Health & Wellness Center has become a campus hub. This two-level structure, spanning more than 25,000 sq feet, represents GA’s commitment to prioritizing the vital connection between a healthy mind and healthy body. The new Health & Wellness Center is home to the Jordan Center (fitness and strength training facility), the Health Services Suite, the Athletics Department, two multipurpose wellness rooms, the updated and expanded Hall of Athletic Achievement, and the Patriot Café.

The new center provides 625% more health and wellness space for our community—increasing from 3,995 to 25,000 square feet.
 

Seven out of ten teens in the U.S. (between 13 and 17 years old) have named anxiety or depression as a major problem among their peers in the community. GA is responding with the resources needed to care for our current and future students.

Students of all ages benefit from the Health & Wellness Center.

Every student at GA—across all grades—spend time each day on mindfulness or physical well-being led by our faculty and coaches. A dedicated space supports these essential life skills.
