Looking Ahead: Campus Master Planning
The Vision for Campus Master Planning
Since the time of our founding in 1954, stewarding Foothill has been the driving force of our Board of Trustees. In that spirit, the Board’s Buildings & Grounds Committee has launched a campus master plan process to ensure our campus facility—our greatest financial asset—is poised and prepared to meet the needs of the next generation of our students.
The master plan development process will span multiple school years. We have already engaged an architectural firm, Johnson Favaro, and we are currently reviewing their proposed plan in preparation for review by governmental agencies and the local community. Our goal is a multi-phase master facility plan to ensure a 21st century campus that is a safe, sustainable, and state-of-the-art facility home to Foothill and Seedling students and employees.
Why do we need a Campus Master Plan?
The Board of Trustees is responsible for sustaining a safe, inspiring, and contemporary school campus that will continue to serve generations of Foothill students. A Master Plan informs and guides the Board’s financial priorities to ensure the Plan is successfully implemented.
The current draft of the Plan includes major improvements such as increasing the queuing length of traffic in order to ease the impact on surrounding residential streets, increasing classroom sizes, modernizing the Betty Webb Library, all while preserving the craftsman character and residential feel of our campus.
How did we pay for the Campus Master Plan?
All funds for the Campus Master Plan were gifts from current and alumni families. Their generosity guarantees we will have a compelling blueprint for our future.
We look forward to sharing our proposed plan in 2025. If you have any questions about the Campus Master Planning process, please contact Head of School, Mike Silva at msilva@foothillcds.org.
