Capital Project
$10 Million
A central hub for health and wellness on Connor Quad.
It is not enough for students to do well at GA. We must ensure that they thrive. While many GA facilities have undergone incredible transformation, the need is great for a space that appropriately prioritizes the physical, social, and mental health of the GA community.
Our Moment
Although construction has begun, capital is still needed to fully fund this transformative project.

Community Health & Wellness Center
The new Health & Wellness Center will have a significant impact in enhancing the total well-being of students and supporting the success of Patriot athletics. The centrally located space for athletics and wellness on Connor Quad will celebrate strong GA sports traditions and inspire our entire community. This new two-level structure, spanning more than 25,000 square feet, will make clear the place that wellness holds in the life and philosophy of GA.
The new center will provide 625% more health and wellness space for our community—increasing from 3,995 to 25,000 square feet.
Seven out of ten teens in the U.S. (between 13 and 17 years old) have named anxiety or depression as a major problem among their peers in the community. GA is responding with the resources needed to care for our current and future students.

Students of all ages will benefit from the Health & Wellness Center.
Every student at GA—across all grades—spend time each day on mindfulness or physical well-being led by our faculty and coaches. A dedicated space will support these essential life skills.
