Wednesday, Oct. 13, marked a major milestone in the history of Pace Academy as the Kam Memar Lower School officially opened its doors to students. 

Science, STEAM and design classes now find their homes in state-of-the-art makerspaces, while an expanded Academic Resource Center provides individualized support for all students. Music and strings programs enjoy large, soundproof spaces with accessible storage, and an indoor gymnasium with direct access to the playground accommodates P.E. classes and community events while offering shelter during recess on rainy days. Administrative offices and meeting spaces throughout the building ensure that school operates smoothly.

“We’re looking forward to officially celebrating the opening of the Kam Memar Lower School and the generosity of the Pace community once we’ve reached our $35-million goal,” says Director of Advancement HEATHER WHITE. “We need all members of the Pace community—current parents, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, alumni, grandparents and friends—to participate in the Accelerate Pace campaign. If you haven’t made your gift or pledge, now is the time!”
