Designing Darrow: The Campus Campaign
From the Nominator
Designing Darrow: The Campus Campaign ensures that The Darrow School thrives as a distinctive educational institution by providing improvements to living spaces, classrooms, and campus infrastructure that respect both our historical significance and programmatic mission. This multi-phased objective provided major improvements to a number of campus facilities, including a complete kitchen renovation, construction of a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, development of a Campus Core Green Space, improved pathways, creation of a signature Fabrication Laboratory (the “Fab Lab”), and substantial upgrades to faculty housing. Designing Darrow has given our historic institution the financial means to make responsible, innovative, and viable improvements that are in harmony with the school’s mission.
From the Judges
The "Designing Darrow" campaign is awarded a silver recognition from the judge's panel because of their ingenious approach to meeting the needs of a challenging fundraising opportunity. Not only has this program been wildly successful but the materials are engaging and modern while still holding true the roots of the Darrow School. This engaging project was donor centered and that clearly paid dividends.
