Facilities: Enhancing the Student Experience
Campaign goal: $33.5 million
BOLGER HOUSE
Groundbreaking May 2008; target completion September 2009
As a key step to enhance our student admission program, the NMH Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new admission building. The strategically-chosen site is adjacent to the ninth-grade village on Cottage Row, between Memorial Chapel and Alumni Hall, with expansive views to Forslund and James Gym and to the newly constructed Rhodes Center for the Arts. It will serve as a place of orientation for prospective students and provide the ideal launching point for tours of the campus. In October 2006, David F. Bolger '50 gave the school $2.5 million towards the building, which will bear the Bolger name. Click here for information about Bolger House naming opportunities and ways to give.

RHODES CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Target completion September 2008; gala opening May 2009
The Rhodes Center for the Arts is located on the eastern edge of campus between Holbrook Hall and Forslund Gymnasium, where Recitation and Silliman Halls once stood. This significant building makes a powerful statement about our commitment to the arts and arts instruction and creates a gathering space to draw the school community together. William R. Rhodes ’53, NMH Board of Trustees chairman emeritus, provided a lead gift of $5 million. Click here for information about Rhodes Center for the Arts naming opportunities and ways to give.

PELLER FAMILY FIELD: Completed spring 2006; Peller Family Field named 2007
Two regulation soccer fields were installed at the piggery fields on the lower campus. In 2007 a fundraising effort led by John Berg ‘80, NMH trustee, raised a total of $500,000 to name one of the two fields in honor of Dick Peller, boys and girls soccer, wrestling, tennis, and baseball coach and a longtime math teacher at NMH, and his family.
Project cost: $1 million
MARY E. MACKINNON and SHEA FAMILY COTTAGES
Completed 2005; dedicated May 2006
Two new cottage-style residences housing 28 students and three faculty families each opened in September 2005. The buildings are an extension of Cottage Row just beyond Memorial Chapel. At a dedication ceremony in May 2006, the dorms were named in honor of two generous donors: the Mary E. MacKinnon Cottage, for trustee Robert H. MacKinnon '53; and the Shea Family Cottage, for trustee William J. Shea Jr '72.
Design firm: Sasaki Associates
Project cost: $4.5 million each
