Enhancing Peddie's Entrance: A Vision for Welcoming Architecture

The Peddie School is poised to strengthen its reputation with a newly designed formal entrance, positioned between Geiger-Reeves and Potter North, perfectly aligned with Kerr Field. This welcoming gateway features Doric columns, brick, and stone elements that harmonize with Peddie’s architectural style without overwhelming. Enhancements include a new sidewalk connecting existing paths, benches for student relaxation, and streamlining traffic patterns for safety. Emphasizing Greek values, the entrance will reflect Peddie’s mission to cultivate well-rounded students with respect, balance, scholarship, courage, and honesty.
