Campus Facilities at McQuaid Jesuit

Located on the second floor, the Academic Center recently underwent a significant transformation. The existing space was fully overhauled to create a more modern and collaborative environment for tutoring, quiet study, and academic support services. In addition, two original science classrooms, once separate from the main center, were completely renovated and physically integrated into the space. This more than doubled the size of the Academic Center, offering students improved access to resources, flexible learning zones, and updated technology to support 21st-century learning.
