(Pittsburgh, PA) Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh has now revealed what they are calling the most ambitious capital campaign in the history of the school. The “Centennial Campaign: Rooted in Tradition, Building For Our Future” aims to raise $55 million for improvements to the campus ahead of the 100th anniversary of the school in the 2027-28 school year. The project will consist of three phases. The first phase will be a renovation of the Brothers’ House that houses the De LaSalle Christian Brothers who serve on the campus. Phase two will be the construction of a new student center, which the school is preparing to break ground on the new center that is 102,000 square feet. The new student center will include student gathering spaces, a TV studio, a lecture hall, a dining hall, a regulation-sized gymnasium, a fitness center, and team locker rooms for the season. This would replace the gym on campus that is nearly 50 years old. The third and final phase will be the main enhancements to the building. That would include the installation of an elevator to ensure compliance for the ADA, upgraded measures for security, and climate control that is modernized. This will also create extended space for the fine arts program, as the facilities for athletics and the dining hall will be moved to the new student center.
