The start of the school year does not mark the end of renovations that were happening on campus this summer; the second phase of the senior lounge renovation is just beginning. The senior lounge renovation is actually part of a much bigger project called “The Bentley Gallery,” named after the former NFL player Mr. LeCharles Bentley ‘98.
The space will be a reminder to the St. Ignatius community of the school’s origins. Through Mr. Bentley’s generosity, the space between the atrium and senior lounge will be transformed into an Alumni Hall of Fame and display of school history.
The theme of school history can already be seen in the senior lounge, where the walls are overflowing with quotes from notable alumni and staff, giving their opinion on how St. Ignatius has had a large impact on their lives.
School of ficials remain tightlipped about what the final elements will be, but students won’t have to wait long to find out. The Bentley Gallery is scheduled to be completed and dedicated on October 24th, 2015.
