THE KEON-COHEN DINING HALL The Keon-Cohen Dining Hall project continues to evolve. The original school gym is in the process of being transformed into a much-needed dining hall for our boys. For many years boys have been demanding, and have been deserving of, improved dining facilities in the Senior School. From the first school day of 2020 our boys will have access to a magnificent dining facility and outdoor precinct, which in time will be surrounded by 12 House home rooms. ARCHIVES MUSEUM/OSCA HOUSE/SCOTCH SHOP The conversion of numbers 2, 3 and 4 Morrison Street into a new Archives Museum, OSCA House and Scotch Shop commenced in July. These three houses are being joined and totally refurbished to provide new homes for our valuable archives, our Old Boys and our Swap Shop. The facility will include a new museum space where our School’s history can be proudly displayed and shared, a new meeting room for our community affiliates to use, improved working spaces for our Archivist, Paul Mishura, and his band of wonderful volunteers, a functional working space for the Old Scotch Collegians’ Association to help the Association deliver its range of programs, and a new retail space. It is anticipated that this facility will be completed in April 2020.
