DAYTON -- Chaminade Julienne announced on Wednesday its plans to open a new CJ STEMM Center next school year.

The expansion is intended to keep pace with today’s advancements in curriculum and teaching for engineering and biomedical sciences.

CJ officials say students will now have access to science, technology, engineering, math and medicine (STEMM) education delivered within a holistic, Catholic educational experience.

This renovation, expected to cost nearly $4 million, will transform current classrooms and labs into expanded learning spaces, innovation labs with project areas, teacher prep areas, a fabrication shop, and a distance learning center.

CJ says students will experience the same kind of facilities, technology and collaborative methods that they will use in college

“The CJ STEMM Center matches the vibrancy of our teachers and creativity of our students,” said Daniel J. Meixner, CJ president. “It meets the demands of our current four-year engineering and biomedical programs and will allow teachers to more fully implement today’s styles of teaching, which have evolved from when our buildings were first constructed.”

The renovation represents the first major construction to the school building in nearly 50 years.

"Alumni, parents, and friends of the school are excited by CJ’s continued commitment to pursue effective innovation in curriculum and teaching,” said Meixner. “The investments of nearly 30 individuals are making this center a reality. Though their names remain private at this time, we thank each one for sharing in our vision for excellent education and believing in our mission, which is rooted in the Catholic traditions of the Marianists and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
