Phase One: Student Lounge, Houlihan Family Entrance & Administrative Offices

In the summer of 2017, we realized a major renovation of our existing facilities. The completion of Phase One – thanks to lead gifts from a few generous donors – left us awed and inspired, and wanting for more! We now have an updated, state-of-the-art Student Lounge that provides our students with the proper space to excel in the learning process, while increasing their motivation, interest and pride in McAuley. Comfortable new sofas and booths, high tables with stools, and bright colored ottomans and chairs provide an inviting atmosphere in which learning comes alive. The students also are enjoying the new Kitty Mac Cafe (funded by a generous donation from the Napleton family) which features various snacks and Starbucks blended coffees.

Students and teachers and agree that the space is warm and inviting, and conducive to group study, eating lunch, leading a test review or even working independently.

In addition to the lounge upgrades, our redesigned Circle Drive entrance - the Houlihan Family Entrance - elevates our level of security, reinforcing that the safety of all within our building is paramount. Visitors are now buzzed into the foyer and Main Office.

Off the main hallway, our site of the former main office has been reconfigured into administrative offices. Not to be overlooked is the Dining Hall which received new lighting and a fresh coat of paint.
