Planning
Greensboro Day School embarked on a transformative campus-wide master planning effort to shape the future of its facilities and support its evolving mission.
Prompted by a newly completed Strategic Plan, the school recognized the need for upgrades, repairs, and replacements across its buildings and grounds to meet the demands of the next five to ten years. Guided by an extensive wish list from the Board of Directors, the plan identifies targeted priorities, capital campaign opportunities, and validated budget estimates. The result is a forward-thinking roadmap that aligns facility improvements with Greensboro Day School’s vision, ensuring the independent school continues to thrive and grow over the next decade.
Project Goals
The master plan is built on a bold vision: to promote academic excellence, encourage intellectual, physical, and social growth, inspire innovation, and cultivate a thriving community of belonging, connection, and public purpose.

Results
