Bond 2023: New Building Update - Kimberlin Academy

Exciting progress continues on our future home at 2014 Dairy Road! Our beautiful three-story building, designed by the outstanding architects at Stantec and brought to life by Lee Lewis Construction, is becoming more of a reality each day.

Behind the scenes, our team is also working with Indeco Sales to make thoughtful furniture selections and begin envisioning the learning spaces our students and staff will soon call home.

While we do not have an exact move-in date to share at this time, we currently anticipate transitioning into our new building during the Spring 2027 semester. As plans continue to develop and additional details are confirmed, we will be excited to share them with our community.

In the meantime, the best way to see the progress is to drive by our future home—you can watch the transformation happening in real time! We are incredibly excited about what is ahead and grateful for our community’s continued enthusiasm as we move one step closer to bringing our two school communities together under one roof.
