Metro Roundup: Indian Springs School hosts groundbreaking for new buildings

Indian Springs School, in conjunction with B.L. Harbert International, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Kayser-Samford Community Commons on Dec. 3.

Built on the former dining hall site, the new 11,871-square-feet Community Commons will contain indoor and outdoor seating for nearly 350 students and guests by the lakeside recreational area. The facility will provide private dining and flex space for meetings and events. New serving stations will feature a variety of meal options.

“Having a modern dining facility intentionally designed for our current and future needs will ensure that generations of students to come will enjoy the transformative experiences that our alumni share with me,” Head of School Scott Schamberger said. “I look forward to the Community Commons being the heart and soul of the campus just as the facility it is replacing has been.” 

The Community Commons is the second project B.L .Harbert International has built for Indian Springs School. 

“It is an honor to be working with Indian Springs School again,” said Dan Price, vice president of B.L. Harbert International. “This facility will provide a state-of-the-art space for students to enjoy for years to come.” 

Construction has already begun and is scheduled to be complete by fall 2022.
