 | Hawken is pleased to announce that, due to the generous lead support of Daniel and Ellie Hurwitz and other contributing Hawken community members, the School is now able to move forward with the completion of its Lyndhurst campus renovation.
In recognition of Dan and Ellie’s generosity and leadership, the Lower School building will be named Hurwitz Hall, taking a rightful position of honor alongside Lincoln and Bolton Halls.
The renovations will provide a consistent classroom environment that facilitates Hawken's individualized and hands on curriculum. It also offers additional classroom space to meet increased enrollment demand while keeping class sizes small.
The project construction is expected to begin in mid-February and continue throughout the summer. Completion is expected by the start of the 2013-2014 academic year, August, 2013. |

Transformation of the façade will match the Early Childhood Center and Middle School, reflecting the continuity of Hawken programs from one phase of development to the next. Along with new roof lines, a third cupola will be added above a renovated Lobby. The addition will add 5,540 square feet of new space to the 2nd and 3rd grade area. Classrooms will have windows that look into a signature common space. Additionally, 8,125 square feet will be renovated within the Lower School building.
