Campus Renewal Project Launches

Montrose will break ground this summer on the first phase of the Montrose School Campus Plan: the exterior campus renewal project, including two turf fields. 
This phase of the Campus Plan will advance the School’s use of its campus for athletics training and competition; for engagement in the natural world through observation and creativity in science and the arts; and for reflection on God’s creation within the connected beauty of the brook, the pond, its wetlands and the landscape. 

The project includes:
  • expanding the green space north of Vine Brook to create two regulation turf fields, one for field hockey and the other for soccer and lacrosse;
  • restoring the landscape and wetland plantings north of the pond;
  • establishing a new system of pedestrian walkways to connect the pond, Vine Brook, the new athletic fields and the campus building at 55 North Street to one another; and
  • designing a new pedestrian bridge over Vine Brook.
Montrose has worked closely with the Town of Medfield throughout the planning of the project. Because Montrose’s open campus is located in the heart of downtown Medfield, this project will benefit both communities. The project will replace 1.5 acres of asphalt with turf fields and landscaping. The school will restore the wetlands, replacing almost 15,000 square feet of invasive species with native plantings. The addition of a second field will promote the growth of the athletic department and its programming, while also providing an additional turf field option for the town and other local organizations to rent.  
 
Thanks to generous benefactors, the school has already secured more than $6 million toward this $8.5 million project.
