The school partnered with DIGroup Architecture for the design of the new facility, which will provide the school with space to expand its STEM and business education classes.

The facility will measure in at 32,000 square feet and include amenities like 15 classrooms; four science labs; four small-group instruction rooms; and flex space for robotics, entrepreneurship, and engineering offerings. It will also include a commons area, admissions center, and student collaboration areas, the news release reports.

“We are honored to work with Saddle River Day School on this forward-thinking project,” said DIGroup Principal Jeffrey Venezia. “This facility’s architecture will provide students with modern, adaptable learning environments that cultivate scientific discovery, an entrepreneurial mindset and technology fluency, which is essential for educating tomorrow’s leaders.”

SRDS is a day school that serves students in grades PreK3–12, according to the school’s website. The construction of Walsh Hall is part of a larger “Building the Future” campaign, which also entails expanding parking and a new turf athletic field, the news release reports.
