We're GROWing Into Our Next Chapter
Bowman Hall:
An Academic Center
of Excellence
For more than two decades, Woodlawn students have learned, created, and grown into confident, curious thinkers.
Bowman Hall is where that journey takes its next great leap.
The Campaign
Join Us
The New Horizons Campaign is a community effort. One that has already been shaped by the generosity of founding donors, families, alumni, and friends who believe in what Woodlawn is and what it can become.
Construction is underway. The momentum is real. And there is still a meaningful role for you to play.
Every gift, at every level, brings us closer to completing Bowman Hall as we’ve envisioned it: fully equipped, fully realized, and ready to serve Woodlawn students for decades to come.
New Horizons Campaign FOR BOWMAN HALL
Our Vision
More Than a Building
Bowman Hall isn’t just the next step for Woodlawn. It’s the realization of everything this school has always stood for — and a gift to every student who will walk these halls for generations to come.
We have always believed that the environment shapes learning. That a child given the right space, the right tools, and the right encouragement can do extraordinary things.
Bowman Hall is built on this belief.
What's Inside
Spaces Designed for Discovery
Bowman Hall will bring together under one roof the resources our students need to think bigger, dig deeper, and create with passion and purpose.
Dedicated Classrooms
Purpose-built learning environments designed for all of our ‘Blazers — spaces that inspire curiosity and support the hands-on, project-based learning that defines a Woodlawn education from the very beginning.
Inquiry
Lab
A cross between Fab Lab and Design Studio. Our 21st-century Digi Lab will give students access to 3D printers, advanced fabrication tools, and digital media resources to prototype, problem-solve, and bring their ideas to life. From product design to digital storytelling, this is the space where imagination becomes reality.
Middle School Science Lab
A dedicated lab space equipped for real scientific inquiry, giving our middle school students the tools to tackle complex questions and develop the critical thinking skills that carry them forward.
Our Story
A Full-Circle Moment
Bowman Hall is named for Karen and Dwayne Bowman, the founders who arrived in this community with a vision, cleared the land, and opened the doors of Woodlawn School.
When no school existed that matched what they believed education could be, they built one.
In time, they made an extraordinary decision: they gave this campus to the school itself, so that Woodlawn’s mission could endure and serve students long after them.
There is no more fitting tribute to their legacy than the building that now stands on that land, carrying their name.
This is their dream, made permanent.
Recognition
Leave Your Mark
We want the community that built Bowman Hall to be woven into the fabric of the building itself. Our community donor recognition opportunities kick off with custom ceramic tiles with the handprints of our Trailblazers and Woodlawn families.
Ceramic Tiles
Artful, permanent recognition displayed within the Bowman Hall Academic Center.
Every member of our Woodlawn community has had a hand in creating Woodlawn’s story. A question asked for the first time. A project that took three tries to get right. A moment a student realized what they were capable of.
The ceramic handprint tiles that will line Bowman Hall are part of the New Horizons Campaign’s community phase, a way for ‘Blazer families, alumni, and friends to leave something permanent on the building that will shape the next generation of Woodlawn students. Each tile is fired and installed by hand, a permanent fixture in a space built to last.
This is how a school community becomes a landmark.
