Many of our most iconic and enduring facilities would not exist without your contributions to capital campaigns—and you will find examples throughout the Saint James campus. Through our most recent campaign, the Make A Difference Campaign, our community donated a record-setting $50.4 million over ten years to transform the student experience in every way. Completed Make A Difference projects include the Pohanka Fine Arts Center, Turner Athletic Center, Rocca and Young faculty townhomes, and theater and dance renovations in the Cotton Building. 

Because tuition and gifts to the Annual Fund are not used to fund major building projects and renovations, capital giving is essential to the School’s ability to grow and to expand as new opportunities arise. Capital giving helps us meet essential longer-term needs, and plan for campus improvements and additions that will ensure a bright future for our students. 

To support a capital project, please contact Margaret McGuigan at 301-671-4859.

Dunnan Hall
Dunnan Hall boys' dormitory

Plans are underway to begin construction on the new boys’ dormitory that will be located across College Road, next to Old Orchard House. The lead donors to the project have requested the dorm be named Dunnan Hall in honor of Father Dunnan’s 30+ years of service to the School. The dorm will include 34 beds, two faculty apartments, and one faculty townhome.

Young Fab Lab

Demolition has begun on our state-of-the-art Fab Lab, which will be located in the old locker room area on the ground floor of the Cotton Building. This new, modern, multi-room facility will feature a central work environment that will enable students to work without disruption, provide space for storage, and a gallery room for completed projects.
