Gulliver Preparatory School has announced the opening of three new buildings at its Upper School Campus — the Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and parking garage.
The school conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on Saturday, Aug. 17, welcoming school and community leaders, families, alumni, and supporters to campus for a first look at the state-of-the-art facilities.
“The opening of our new Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and parking garage marks another historic day for Gulliver,” said president Simon Hess. “With the completion of this third phase of our transformative capital campaign, Upper School students, faculty, and staff are now together on one campus, further enriching our experience of community and spirit of collaboration.
“We are also delighted that our exceptional student-athletes and coaches will now practice and compete in the region’s premier athletic facility. I am eager for our Raiders to grow and thrive in these dynamic new spaces — and to add thrilling new chapters to our championship tradition.”
Gulliver’s new 38,580-square-foot Athletic Center features an indoor track, gymnasium, weight room, locker and training rooms, spirit store, and more. The facility will be home to several sports teams, including the defending state champion girls’ volleyball team, as Gulliver’s athletics program looks to build on its streak of being named the Miami Herald’s
All-Sports Award winner (5A-1A) for the seventh straight year and 23rd time overall in 2023-24.
The addition of a parking garage to the Upper School Campus not only improves on-campus parking options but also provides a new home for Gulliver’s Executive Offices on campus.
The completion of the Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and parking garage concludes Phase III of Gulliver’s comprehensive capital campaign, “Transformation.
Together. 2026.” It also marks a major milestone for the school, which has now accomplished its long-term plan to consolidate its four academic campuses into two campuses.
“The board of trustees is continually impressed by how our community has united to create exceptional facilities for both current and future generations of Raiders,” said board chair Ann Olazabal. “The completion of this phase of our capital campaign represents another significant step in realizing our bold vision and strengthening our legacy. We are deeply grateful to our leadership team, faculty and staff, past and present board members, and our generous financial supporters who have invested in our future.”
As Gulliver’s facilities evolve and expand, the size of its student body will remain the same, ensuring that its exceptional students and faculty have access to unparalleled, world-class educational opportunities for generations to come.
Key partners who assisted in bringing the Athletic Center, Woolworth Family Executive Offices, and parking garage to reality included: Zyscovich Architects, NV2A Group, Cumming Group, Bliss & Nyitray Engineers, Louis J. Aguirre & Associates PA, Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates, and Chen Moore and Associates.
