Join us on our South Campus as we break ground for the construction of a new academic building for the FBRA Girls Program. This special event not only marks the start of the project, but is a moment to celebrate this major milestone in the history of French Broad River Academy and to honor the community that has made it possible.
The ceremony begins at 2 p.m. with remarks from local dignitaries and FBRA representatives. Local officials, students, faculty and board members, past and current families, alumni, and FBRA friends and neighbors are all invited to attend the celebration.
Parking is available on South Campus and at the Craggy Motors vacant lot located next to South Campus just to the north.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This exciting new project will establish an expanded and permanent home for FBRA’s Girls Program on the 3.3-acre riverside campus just north of downtown Asheville. It is the latest phase of growth for the middle school founded in 2009 that combines rigorous academics with learning through outdoor adventure, service, and travel.
The phased project includes a new academic building with space for classrooms, an assembly and performance area, an art room, teacher workspace, and administrative offices. The school is working with the team of Beverly Grant, Red House Architects, and Civil Design Concepts to implement best practices for sustainable design and energy efficiency for the project. The new building will replace modular classroom units and anchor the school’s South Campus, which also includes outdoor learning spaces, the Maria Noakes Outdoor Center, and easy access to the river.
