2015-2016 Annual Report | Capital Gifts

The Solebury School campus features a wonderful mix of stately, beautifully maintained older buildings and modern, state-of-the-art facilities. Capital funds are raised to support the acquisition, construction, or renovation of our buildings. Although Solebury was not in a formal capital campaign during this fiscal year, there were special capital projects that needed attention.
This spring, we were thrilled to receive extraordinary gifts from the Nakashima family and a small group of generous alumni and alumni parents: a museum-quality, custom-designed Nakashima conference table and 10 chairs. These stunning pieces of functional art reside in the newly minted “Alumni Conference Room” in Solebury School’s Carriage House.
Below is a list of those who generously contributed to capital projects around campus.
