Lab+ Master Plan Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lab+ Campaign?

The Lab+ Campaign is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Schools that represents the culmination of nearly a decade of planning on the part of our community. Lab+ will help maintain the diversity so central to our community while allowing for transformative improvements to every aspect of the Schools’ programs and campus. The campaign is comprehensive, meaning that all gifts in the campaign period (beginning July 1, 2007) count toward our fundraising goal of $55 million. This support will allow the Schools to expand spaces, upgrade aging facilities, enhance programmatic excellence, and support student aid and professional development.
