An Inflationary Tale of an Ambitious Building Project
Have you ever been part of a project or initiative that has changed in scope in the midst of planning due to changing needs of program, evolving economic circumstances, long range ambitions of your institution and/or all of the above? The need for the Marksman Athletic Complex at St. Mark's was born out of a devastating tornado that damaged most of the campus and leveled the school's primary athletic facility months before the pandemic. Replacing and enhancing this core facility represented the largest project in school history. The team at St. Mark's set out to secure required funding for the project in a short time frame, highlight the importance of annual giving, lay the groundwork for a comprehensive campaign and highlight the role of athletics as part of a robust curriculum. Learn and discuss how the execution of a monumental endeavor in the life of one school can apply to any team striving to achieve critical success when the goalpost is moving.
