A BOLD COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE 

Opening in fall 2023 across the street from UPrep’s existing campus, the ULab, a 39,000-square-foot, three-story building, will create a second academic hub dedicated to igniting our high school students’ passion for collaboration, creativity, and leadership through interdisciplinary and project-based learning.

At UPrep, exceptional faculty and staff inspire students to lead a life of learning. The ULab will extend our current footprint with learning spaces that match the quality of the outstanding teaching and learning that occur at our school every day.

With the ULab, our vision for the next 50 years becomes more of a reality. This is an exciting time for UPrep and we will have much to celebrate in the days ahead! Questions about the ULab? Contact Director of Development Liz Van Hoy.

The ULab is a once-in-a-generation investment in our children's future. We invite the entire UPrep community to come together to achieve our $25 million fundraising goal." Elise Hebb, Parent and Campaign Committee Member
