Fordham Preparatory School - Ramview Ramview Spring/Summer 2016 | Page 6

Welcome to the Prep’s New Entrance During the summer and into the fall of 2015, the front entrance to the prep received a major overhaul that has created a much more welcoming atmosphere for all. The empty space under the overhang was eliminated when the front of the building was extended to create a much brighter area with glass walls and new energy-efficient lighting. upon entering, members of the prep community and visitors enjoy a sense of the current prep and some of its history. Display cases feature student achievements and creativity while archival items give visitors a sense of the prep’s long tradition. The new location of our receptionist allows a layer of security we never had before. All visitors must now sign in with the receptionist and receive a pass to the building. Students received new identification cards this year that have a swipe bar that they use to enter the building. Sliding glass doors have been installed between the entrance/reception area and the Commons. This allows easier transition between the two areas at receptions and other events. 6 | r AmV ie W
