Hawken to Open New Lower School Building
In February 2013, Hawken began work on a renovation and expansion of its Lower School building. The new building opens with a Grand Opening Celebration on Sunday, August 18, in time for the start of the 2013-2014 school year.
Held in the form of an open house from 1 to 3pm, the celebration will give the parents, students, teachers and friends a chance to see the stunning facility that includes the renovation of 8,125 square feet, plus 5,540 square feet of new construction.
The renovations provide a classroom environment that facilitates Hawken's innovative curriculum. It also offers additional classroom space to meet increased enrollment demand while keeping class sizes small. Windows will look from the 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms into a signature common space and the expansion includes new science labs, expanded classrooms in the M.A.C. (Musical Arts Center, formerly the Link), and a redesigned EcoGarden.

Hawken's Lyndhurst facility was originally built in the 1920s on land donated by Chester and Frances Bolton. In 2006, Hawken dedicated Lincoln Hall, which houses the Middle School. The new Lower School extends the form and function of Hawken's Early Childhood Center, which opened in 2012, reflecting the continuity of Hawken programs from preschool through grade 8.
Made possible by the generous support of the Hawken community and in recognition of a lead gift by Dan and Ellie Hurwitz, the Lower School building is being named named Hurwitz Hall.
The Grand Opening Celebration will be held at 5000 Clubside Road, Lyndhurst. OH 44124, from 1 to 3pm. Light refreshments will be served. For more information on the project, including construction photos, click here.
