Events Center

On Tuesday, November 22, 2016, the entire Sewickley Academy community gathered together indoors for the first time in recent history in the brand new Events Center and Means Alumni Gym. The building is a silver LEED certified, multi-purpose space which now serves as the centerpiece of the Academy’s commitment to building community. On behalf of the Board of Trustee and the faculty, staff, and students of Sewickley Academy, Head of School Kolia O’Connor declared the Events Center and Means Alumni Gym open.

On Thursday, June 8, 2017, approximately 750 family members and friends, along with administrators, faculty, and staff, gathered in the Events Center and Means Alumni Gym for the first time in Academy history to celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2017.

The new indoor space advances the school’s mission by thoughtfully responding to the needs of those it serves, creating greater opportunities for building community and supporting programs for all of our Pre-K through Grade 12 students. Students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni can gather in this new space to celebrate important student milestones and Sewickley Academy traditions such as graduation, Founders’ Day, and our annual Day of Service. In addition, the building features flexible spaces that can be used for class meetings, special events, athletic competitions, training, testing, and more, making the facility a vital community hub. The opening of the Events Center and Means Alumni Gym transformed the physical space on campus and the positive impact on our community will be felt for generations to come.
