Maintained Mrs. Riddle's Campus and Modernized Our Facilities

Projects

Projects

All who know and love Avon understand that the identity of our school is embedded in these walls of red stone – and that if they were somehow more precisely plumb and square, they would undoubtedly be less perfect. Memories of this place connect Avonians across generations and link us to Mrs. Riddle’s founding vision.

 

For all of these reasons, we committed to preserving the distinctive character of our campus and buildings as we completed projects that made them better suit our students’ needs. Our plans for doing so built on Avon’s broader strategic planning work and encompassed changes to Avon’s buildings across campus.

The renovated building of one of Avon’s hallmark structures is now where students design and build robotics and learn about 3-D printing, capabilities that support the exploration of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). The renovation extends to the water tower’s new computer programming lab. The Forge and water tower are also home to Avon’s Robotics Team and Technology Club.

The Nimrod  Club has a storied tradition of fellow brothers—peer laborers—working in unity to carefully protect the lasting impact each boy has on this earth.
