Enhanced Learning Spaces at 45 W. North UP FRONT In celebration of the completion of one of the largest construction projects in Latin's history, parents, students, alumni, faculty and staff gathered on January 4 for the official opening of Latin's new state-of-theart upper school science center and tours of the completed fifth and sixth grade suite and middle school art room. Romans of all ages were amazed by the learning spaces and innovative educational tools that were included in the completion of the third and fourth floors of our building at 45 W. North Boulevard. From the sciencebased art installations, multimedia displays and hands-on learning opportunities in the science center to the creative spaces in the middle school art room, visitors had a chance to see just some of the highlights of the learning experience at Latin. Alumnae Lynn Orschel and Abra Prentice Wilkin were on hand to cut the ribbon for the new Class of 1960 Independent Study Lab. The lab, which is solely dedicated to long-term independent research projects by students, was made possible by gifts from the entire class. This space is just one of many in the 15,000-square-foot facility focused on further developing science literacy and critical reasoning skills for our ninth- through twelfthgrade students. n Students of all ages were introduced to the exciting new learning tools in the upper school science center during the January 4 open house. 4 Latin Magazine
