Empower Rosary

Innovation/Robotics Center

This new classroom was designed to foster and encourage the STEM initiatives at Rosary Academy. The 1,028 sq ft classroom is intended for two uses: during regular school hours the classroom will be used for Engineering Pathway classes. After school, it will serve as a workshop for the Royal Rebel Robotics. The team will have the space to create, design and build their robotics for their completion in a state-of-the-art facility. The space will contain a 3D print machine, metal lathe, CNC machine, and a VEX competition field, to name a few. In order to give it a modern industrial look the architecture team incorporated an open ceiling with modern fixtures, air hose drops for east cleaning, and a garage door that will open up into the existing lawn.

Culinary Arts Pathway

Rosary Academy is excited to start this new program on their campus. Rosary originally had Home Economics, which was geared towards aspects of household management. The Culinary Arts Pathway was designed to foster practical life skills, creativity and teamwork, and spark the interest of a future chef. Each kitchen island is designed for four students (20 total student capacity at a time) which allows the students to work together in preparing a recipe. Each kitchen island will be equipped with electric ranges which will mimic a real kitchen and a bit like an industrial workstation. The main teacher prep area will have a camera and projected on TV’s so the students can follow along. At about 1,022 sq ft the classroom will be equipped with enough pantry storage area, dishwashers and sinks for easy cleanup, and other supplies for ease in prepping.

Athletic Spaces

The Athletic Department at Rosary Academy will occupy about half the total area of the First Floor. About 2,245 sq ft will be divided and dedicated to the following functions:

• Varsity Girls Restroom
• Varsity Locker Room with a “Beauty Bar”
• Physical Therapy (PT) Room and Office
• Strength and Conditioning Room

An additional 560 sq ft will be divided into the following support spaces:

• Team Conference Room
• Athletic Offices
• Athletic Director Office

Classrooms

The second floor of the new building will have five new classrooms, including Culinary Arts. Each classroom averages about 925 sq ft. The new classrooms are:

• Math Classroom
• Social Studies Classroom
• Religious Education
• Health & Kinesiology Classroom

The Math and Social Studies Classroom will have an operable partition between them so that when needed it can become a large meeting room (about 1,875 sq ft).
