Construction is Underway – A Red Gym Refresh Update

May 2026

Exciting progress is taking place as the Red Gym Refresh Project officially moves from vision to reality. Following our wall-smashing ceremony on March 24, construction crews began work on March 30, and over the past month and a half, the transformation has become increasingly visible.

We are grateful that the first weeks of construction have gone smoothly! Learning has continued uninterrupted, thanks to the excellent work of our contractors. Already, much of the demolition work has been completed, including the former change rooms, stage, and offices. Work is also well underway on reinforcing roof structures, creating openings for new team and storage rooms, beginning removal of the existing gym floor, beginning the exterior refinishing, and building the new change room spaces.

Red Gym Re-Opening Celebration

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

We look forward to celebrating this exciting new chapter together!

In the months ahead, construction will continue with re-roofing, installation of drywall in the new change rooms, assembly of the new south-end feature wall, and preparation for and the laying of the new gym floor, among other things.

Every day brings visible signs of progress and renewed excitement for what this revitalized space will mean for future generations of students, athletes, alumni, and community members.

This transformational project is only possible because of the generosity and partnership of our MBCI community.

We’ve already raised over $2.1 million, from over 280 families, alumni and friends of MBCI.

We are halfway there. Halfway is the hardest place to be, because it requires a community to lean in—not step back. As construction continues, we invite you to consider joining in, by supporting the Red Gym Refresh Project financially.

Making a gift is a powerful way for you, the current generation of MBCI community, to have a lasting impact on those yet to come.

Every gift helps bring this vision to life and invests in a space that will inspire learning, athletics, connection, and community for years to come. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration of this opportunity!
