GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy is breaking ground on a new expansion project. On Thursday, community leaders and educators grabbed their shovels commemorating the Health & Wellness Learning Center project.
“This facility is designed to help students thrive academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. We are building a space that mirrors the future our students deserve,” said Brian Cloyd, Co-Chair of the capital campaign.
The 10,100-square-foot addition will include facilities for student learning and wellness programs, a tech hub for scholars, and a state-of-the-art gymnasium. The space will accommodate school events, scholar-led activities and regional gatherings.
