Advancing the Vision
The Capital Campaign for Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School
Campaign Goal: $1.1 Million
Dollars Raised to Date: $1,236,463
A Message from the Head of School
We are excited to announce that we have confirmed an opening date of August 2020 for the new EDS Middle and Upper School campus. Even though we should be finished with the campus around April 2020, we can use that extra time to begin introducing the campus to prospective families and students, and even run summer camps out there that year. Giving ourselves a little extra time allows us to have a finished campus complete with beautiful landscaping and a filled lake.
Our building committee is making great progress in “value-engineering” the project (i.e. finding cost-saving measures), but feel if they had more time, they could find even more value in the design phase. We want to be sure we can live up to our promises. Rushing a project like this generally leads to bigger mistakes and greater costs.
As this year and next progresses, please think about camps and activities that we can plan for the new campus. We are open to suggestions and want to be ready to show off our new facility.
Thank you so much for all your support. Your generosity has helped us reach this momentous turning point and we are so excited for the promising future of Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School.
Sincerely,
The Reverend Boo Kay

Fundraising and Construction Update
Fundraising has continued for the south campus and we are thrilled to announce that we have exceeded our goal! Every additional dollar raised will enhance the campus and decrease the financed amount. In November, EDS received a $50,000 pledge from the Episcopal Diocese. We are thrilled to have the support of the church. This project will have far-reaching effects and we are grateful that those near and far see the potential in this endeavor.
- The required archaeology dig is complete and nothing was found on the site.
- A 2 ft. deep ditch has been excavated around the entire perimeter of the site to allow the site to drain properly. This has worked nicely.
- The east side of the property has been cleared and the construction road is completed, including surfacing.
- Fill dirt has been imported for the earthwork portion of the project.
We expect to have all earthwork for all of the buildings completed in December. Immediately following the earthwork for the buildings, we will begin all plumbing and electrical so that we can pour the concrete at the start of February.
Q&A with architect Glenn Angelle
Part III
How have you incorporated environmental sustainability into the campus?
From the start, with the “Campus Plan” layout, I emphasized designing buildings where possible with an elongation along an East-West axis. This is the most important factor. Any building in south Louisiana designed with an East-West elongation will have less sun-related heat gain and therefore will require less energy to cool. We are incorporating highly energy efficient LED lighting and using natural North light in all of our buildings. While we will need to clear many of the pine trees present on site to allow for construction we are being strategic by allowing trees on the East and West edges of the buildings to remain. They will act as sun shading for the low angle morning and afternoon sun. Our plan is harvest rain water from the roofs of buildings to use as irrigation in the school garden - which has been located on the southerly side of the campus to allow for access to direct sunlight.
Sustainability also can be measured in what you don’t do. In that sense we have worked with Boo and the school leadership to scope the project into what is required to meet the schools learning objectives and nothing more. Doing it beautifully and with efficient design and building methods adds to the sustainable efforts. The "campus plan” design also adds to the equation because it will allow for growth of the campus as future needs arise. Building along a needs-based timeline allows for proper resource management and provides for change opportunities as we continue to strive for excellence in learning.
Thank you to all our generous donors!
