Our project began with the development of a long-range Master Plan for St. Thomas More Church and School. The plan was based on extensive consultation with our community, engagement with architects, and much prayer and discernment. Responding to that input, the Master Plan addresses our most pressing needs in an initial phase of construction and provides concepts for further development in later phases.

We then undertook a Planning Study to evaluate our community’s response to the Master Plan and to gauge the level of interest and capacity for us to proceed with an initial building project.

As a result of that study, we have decided to pursue the Base Initial Project of the Master Plan, which includes the projects that are highest priority to the school and parish. The Base Initial Project is estimated to cost $15,000,000.

New 2-story, 12-Classroom School Building

• Provides dramatically improved learning space for kindergarten through fifth grades

• Moves the school out of less desirable learning space in the basement of the administration building and the third floor above the sanctuary

• Makes space available for expanded parish meeting rooms now and for future phases of the Master Plan
   

New Parish Meeting Space

• Creates opportunities to enhance our ministry and our experience of community by providing new,
  much-needed meeting rooms and gathering spaces

• Transforms the full floor above the sanctuary to create multiple inviting, light-filled meeting rooms of various sizes

• A new stairway from the narthex to the meeting room floor provides easy, inviting access, along with the existing elevator, to meeting space, now located near the church

Renovated School Administrative Space

• Consolidates school administrative offices, freeing up space in the basement of the parish administrative building and Mulhern Hall and laying the groundwork for future phases of the Master Plan

• Enhances school security with a new controlled school entrance

As of November 28, 2023, $5,427,728 has been pledged to our campaign.

What is a Master Plan?
A Master Plan is:
- an intentional and holistic plan for the whole campus
- a conceptual organization of buildings and spaces
- an implementation that prioritizes the greatest needs in an initial phase

What's Next?
The next step is a feasibility study, which gauges interest in the master plan and evaluates our capacity to move toward implementing the initial phase.
