Boulder Country Day breaks ground on new buildings

Boulder Country Day School (BCD) held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Dining Commons and Center for Innovative Learning April 20. The new building will expand the physical facilities on the school's 5.5-acre campus located adjacent to the Twin Lakes Open Space in Gunbarrel.

"Our new Center for Innovative Learning will spark collaboration among the arts and technology, accelerating our student experience beyond the norm and placing BCD at the forefront of creativity in the Boulder Valley and beyond," John Suitor, BCD Head of School, said in a press release.

"The Commons Building will be a thriving hub for our community," Julie Griffith, BCD Director of Development, said. "As a place for parent coffees, meetings, and a home for small gatherings, we will have a physical space to grow and support our Bulldog spirit."

The school worked with architectural firm Sopher Sparn Architects, LLC, to design the buildings, and has contracted with FCI Constructors, Inc., for construction of the project.
