Maintain the value and functional adequacy of the school’s current physical plant by systematizing a program of regular maintenance and replacement.
- Provide budgetary reserves to ensure that resources are available for the renewal, replacement and deferred maintenance needs of the school.
- Provide budgetary reserves to accommodate changes in instructional technology including building use, changes for gains in efficiency, and changing laws, codes & regulations.
- Provide budgetary reserves for the timely correction of system failures, should they occur.
- In the 2010-2011 capital budget process, $50,000 has been set aside to provide funding for the above objectives.
• Implement all the central concepts of the master plan, since they form an integral whole:
1. Address pressing space needs, especially with regard to such areas as the fine arts, classrooms, offices, and parking.
- Phase I of the Master Plan, the Arts & Education Center adds 24 classrooms, two-thirds of which are dedicated to the arts; 190 parking spaces on two levels; and faculty work spaces.
2. Design facilities that not only provide space, but also bear joyous witness to the vitality and innovativeness of Campbell Hall’s programs, and serene witness to a sense of coherence, integration of styles, and of rest and peace.
- Campbell Hall chose Gensler as our master planning architects because of their interest in and willingness to study our current campus and program before joining with us to imagine next steps. They will continue to work with us to renovate and re-color the rest of the campus in between major building phases.
3. Remove traffic and queuing from the center of the campus, creating an environment that is safe and pedestrian friendly.
- Phase I has ushered in the closing of the central driveway, creating a car-free sitting and play area between the Academic Center and elementary school later phases will close the North drive to cars entirely.
4. Develop the campus in environmentally conscious ways, with an emphasis on green spaces, sustainable design, and stewardship of resources.
- Sustainability has been one of the primary concerns in Phase I, a focus that will continue through future master plan phases.
5. Maintain Episcopal identity and aesthetic continuity in campus architectural styles, especially regarding the school’s “public face.”  Architecturally speaking, Episcopal identity expresses itself as an emphasis on community and the centrality of human relationships; a sense of both calm and adventurous inquiry; and a welcoming and hospitable attitude to the neighborhood and larger world (regarding traffic, noise, parking, and access).
- The Arts & Education Center beautifully reflects the many aspects of the school’s mission, including offering a more hospitable and welcoming face to the neighborhood on Laurel Canyon Blvd.
6. In master planning, balance the need to provide grade- and division-specific spaces with a joyful embrace of the school’s K-12 ethos.
- In its master planning, Campbell Hall has explicitly rejected the idea of moving one or more divisions to a separate campus.
7. Continue to seek the acquisition of additional property.
- The school’s leadership continues to investigate the possibility of purchasing additional property nearby, and follows all interesting leads.
8. Ensure campus safety and security by continuing to address such factors as earthquake preparedness, fire hazards, and dangerous intrusions.
- The Health and Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committees continue their work to maintain the high levels of safety and preparedness on campus.
