about the Campaign and the future
plans for IC.
The International College has completed negotiations
to purchase its Ras Beirut campus from the American
University of Beirut. IC is getting ready to launch
a huge construction project on its campus.
The project will span several years and include a much
needed new elementary school, a new auditorium, athletics
courts, art facilities, an underground bus and parking
system, a new administration building, two extensions to
the middle school building, a new preschool extension, a
food court, libraries, gymnasium, a black box, theatre and a
swimming pool. The historic buildings housing the Middle
and Secondary Schools will also be fully renovated.
IC has also purchased land at the Ain Aar campus and will embark
on some much needed construction projects in the near future.
The Capital Campaign was officially launched last year. The
goal is to raise $55m over a period of five years. The Board
of Trustees has already committed over $10m. The rest is
being solicited from alumni, parents and IC friends.
