Features of the building will include:
- (16) bedrooms that will replace the present (6) bedrooms
- New bathrooms
- (2) purpose-built classrooms
- Study
- Exercise room
- Sacristy

Dalton is working with a project team that includes project managers BARA Consulting and architect Van Groll & Associates in the pre-construction phase of the project.
