The Episcopal School has begun construction on an exciting new addition which will add 12,000 square feet of new Middle School space. The project will complete Phase II of the Middle School Building, renamed Googe Hall, making a total of 22,000 square feet in the Middle School.

Made possible through a gift from Dr. Paul B. Googe, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and his wife Cynthia, the $1.5 million project will add 4 classrooms, making a total of 12, a dining room, great room, garden, administrative offices and media center. Googe Hall is expected to be completed by the spring of 2008.

Of special interest in the architectural design is a striking bell tower that will be built with a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Samples. The three-feet, 1,000 pound church bell to be installed in the tower was cast in 1905 and is being refurbished by the McShane Bell Foundry of Glen Burnie, Maryland.
