NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Franklin Road Academy unveiled a new 32,000-square-foot Upper School building and an expanded 38,000-square-foot Bracken Green at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday.
The $29.5 million project features modern classrooms, a digital media studio, entrepreneurial leadership spaces and the Panther Den. Bracken Green doubles the size of the former quad and serves as a central space for students and school events like graduation.
This marks the completion of Phase Two of a seven-year, $70 million capital campaign to enhance the 62-acre campus. Head of School Sean Casey said the new spaces will inspire creativity, collaboration and support student wellness.
Construction finished in just 14 months, with upgraded security and a new visitor entrance.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
