Triathlon Intro

​​ The future of Lake Highland is a much debated and is often the topic of discussion, especially after LHP’s 50th anniversary in 2020. The Capital Projects, as they’re being referred to by the Advancement Office, are exciting new developments that are being overseen by Lake Highland’s Board of Trustees for the strategic planning of the projects. The Board’s Building Committee, however, provides leadership for the development and construction of the buildings. 

There are three projects planned for the Lake Highland campus as part of the Elevate Highlanders Campaign. The first of these state-of-the-art designs, the Porter Family Center for Innovation and Academics is currently being constructed eight feet behind Hale and Johnston Halls. According to LHP, this four-story building will include a new Student Center, a Mathematics Institute, English and Language Arts Institute, College and Career Center, and other hubs to replace the current administrative offices located in the Hale and Johnston Halls. 

Lake Highland was able to break ground on the Porter Family Center for Innovation and Academics on April 5, 2022. The construction is expected to take 14 months, with an anticipated opening date of August 2023. A Multisport Athletic Facility at the LHAC complete with a wrestling arena, an auxiliary gym for court sports, and an outdoor archery range, along with the Arts District where the Calkins Library is. The new Arts District will include new rehearsal spaces for orchestra, band, and chorus are also exciting updates on the horizon for the beautiful LHP campus. The timeline for the Multisport Athletic Facility and the Arts District will depend on fundraising. These buildings, and more ideas, are coming together to build a bold, innovative future for all students and staff. There has never been a better time to be a Highlander!
