This project is a new academic center on the campus of Bellarmine College Preparatory, an all-boys Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition.
In early 2025, the center was named the Wade Academic Center to honor Fr. Jerry Wade, SJ, Bellarmine’s chancellor emeritus, who also added the names of his late parents, Walter and Clara, during the topping off ceremony. The building is scheduled to open for the academic year beginning in fall 2025. The 44,000-square-foot building will be home to 21 classrooms, the Modern and Classical Languages department, a new IT center, the dean’s office, the James A. Harville Speech and Debate Hub, and the Fr. Dick Cobb, S.J. Center for Adult Spirituality.
