Belen Jesuit Preparatory School is a private, all-male Catholic prep school in Tamiami run by the Antilles Province of the Society of Jesus. Its 33.7-acre campus includes a Main Building, a Center for the Arts, a Science Pavilion, an Athletic Center, a gymnasium, and an Administration building.
This project centered on a new roughly 5,000-square-foot dining hall and multipurpose center, built after demolishing the space it replaced, along with a full renovation of the existing kitchen. The new building brings in natural light through storefront windows and includes video walls for presentations.
The broader scope touched much of the campus: new 200-plus-ton air handling units, an upgraded and extended PA and fire alarm system, remodeled group restrooms, new cabinetry throughout the cafeteria, and new acoustical ceiling tile and flooring facility-wide. Outside, crews replaced about 50 feet of metal picket fencing with a gate, recoated and restriped the parking lots and drives, added pole-mounted lighting and site drainage, installed new bollards, and relocated the exercise equipment area. The work also included selective replacement of doors and flooring, interior and exterior painting, and new water coolers throughout.
