All about the newly-purchased athletic facility Charlotte Morris and Cate Spalding Managing Editor and Copy Editor
This past summer, Convent and Stuart Hall purchased a building on Geary Boulevard and Masonic Avenue. The goal is to convert the building into a new athletic facility for the student body to use for physical education classes and sports practices. One of the main goals of the project is to expand the aquatics program at C&SH, by building a pool in the new facility. The facility will be used as a home pool for the Varsity swim team and as an expansion for physical education activities. It may also introduce the school to more aquatic sports like water polo, according to Athletics Director Dana Kuwahara. “The new facility will give our swim
team and potential water polo team a home pool,” Kuwahara said. “Currently, our school rents the USF Koret Pool facility for swim practices, so this would be an additional place that we can control in terms of time,” There are only 9 public swimming pools in the city, according to San Francisco Parks & Recreation. During swim season, when all the San Francisco high schools need to have a place to practice, booking and renting spaces can be difficult. For this reason, having a private space would increase practice opportunities and spaces for meetings to be held. The building's layout can incorporate a second floor in addition to a pool. The goal is to incorporate a new gymnasium, fitness facilities, and field spaces for more extensive physical education classes and sports practices.
While still in the development phase, another goal for the building is to incorporate yoga studios, strength and conditioning spaces, and wellness centers. This would improve athletic training and give students other ways to incorporate physical activity into their lives according to junior Lila Pollak. “I think that the wellness centers are a really good idea for this new space,” Pollak said. “It will be a good way to prepare for and wind down from the more intense physical activities,” The current progress has included hiring an architectural film as well as a management consultant before the initial construction begins. Ideally, the construction will take place over the next three to five years. “I am very excited about the new building,” Tony Farrell, Head of Stuart
Hall High School said. “I know that it will enhance and amplify our athletic offerings” The space is designed for the Convent and Stuart Hall students and community, outside and during school. This new building will be the school’s third athletic facility along with the Stuart Hall High School gym and the Herbert Center. Currently, the athletics department contacts public San Francisco athletic fields and facilities. Having an additional place that the school can control, in terms of time and accessibility, will create more opportunities for student-athletes to succeed according to Kuwahara. “Not many schools in San Francisco have their own pool or field spaces,” Kuwahara said. “When we have our facilities, it just enhances the opportunity for our student-athletes."
