“This new space will facilitate a new kind of teaching and learning, providing students with the ability to collaborate, be creative and learn across departments.” “The citizen of the future is going to need to work and learn in different ways than they have in the past,” said Bachmann.
During his 40-year career at Prep, he developed an environment in which students were encouraged to dream big and collaborate often. The board decided to name the new addition in honor of recently retired Bachmann. Laboratories, art studios, classrooms, meeting rooms and offices where students and faculty will come together to learn and grow are part of the Bachmann Collaboration Building. Encompassing leadership, science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics as well as global studies programs, the new building will ensure the school’s regional and national competitiveness, Prep leaders believe. The structure, which replaced an existing building at the northern end of the campus, is part of the school’s multi-phased campus improvement project intended to promote interactive work and interdisciplinary studies that will better prepare students for college and the workplace. Serving grades 7-12, the new 18,000-square-foot, three-story building - named for former headmaster Peter Bachmann, who guided the school for four decades - includes laboratories, art studios, classrooms, meeting rooms and offices where students and faculty will come together to learn and grow.
