NEW MULTIPURPOSE FIELD $2.2M Why a New Field? Development of the Whole Child is a hallmark of a Villa education, and part of that child is physical! Research is proving that young bodies need to expend their restless energy to increase focus in the classroom. The installation of a new turf Multipurpose Field is a longtime dream that will finally come true and give us: • A true home-field that all of our athletes from K to 8 can call their own and is regulation size for games • Expanded P.E. classes, recess, and sports opportunities • A large, flat surface for any number of classroom projects, experiments, and after school clubs • A resource for the neighborhood and CYO, bringing more people to our campus • Yet another important development to make the most of our spectacular 31-acre campus The field will be the first component of the campaign because it has to be built all at once. The cost is reflective of several factors: the site being a difficult one on a hill; wanting to maintain our campus integrity with minimal tree loss; needing a complete drainage solution; and installation of an environmentally safe turf.
