Newton Country Day School Gets New Athletic Facility

NEWTON, MA – Construction of a new athletic facility was recently completed at Newton Country Day School.

The 47,000-square-foot Kathleen R. Martin Wellness Center was built by Burlington developers Erland Construction. It was the company's second venture at the Loren Towle Estate, following a library addition to the mansion nine years ago.

Designed by Somerville firm D'Agostino-Izzo Quirk, the new four-story edifice is built into the hillside adjacent to the school's playing fields and boasts a gymnasium with two full basketball courts, multiple squash courts, indoor rowing practice facility, dance studio, fitness room, locker rooms, training rooms and classrooms.

"We are very happy with our new Wellness Center and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you and the rest of the project team at Erland for a smooth and successful construction experience," Mike Fahey, Director of Facilities, said in a statement to the development team.
