Wheaton Academy is proposing an amendment to their existing Final PUD at 900 North Prince Cross-
ing Road to update the previously approved Master Plan for the campus. The proposed improve-
ments indicated on the amended Master Plan will be phased over the next 5+ years. The first phase
of the campus improvements includes demolition of the existing Academy Hall building located on the
north side of the existing Academic Building, and construction of a two-story, 20,500 square foot addi-
tion to the Academic Building. The first phase will also include the demolition of the former train depot
building located on the far north side of the property near Prince Crossing Road. These improvements
are anticipated to be completed by 2024.
Phase II of the campus improvements includes the construction of a 5,000 square foot maintenance
building located northwest of the existing maintenance building, just east of the existing softball field.
The existing maintenance building will be demolished and a portion of the existing parking near the
maintenance building will be reconfigured. Two freestanding signs that were approved as part of the
third amendment to the Final PUD in 2015 will be constructed during this phase as well. The signage
includes a freestanding sign off Hawthorne Lane between the access drive and Rosewood Drive and
a freestanding sign at the southeast corner of the property at the intersection of Hawthorne Lane and
Prince Crossing Road. A new campus green plaza between the existing Warrior Dome and existing
Academic Building is proposed. This phase is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
Phase III of the campus improvements includes the construction of two new storage sheds — one on
the east side of the southern tennis courts and one to replace the existing storage shed along Haw-
thorne Lane immediately west of the baseball field. The existing batting cages will be relocated slightly
to the west of their existing location near Hawthorne Lane. A new stadium plaza is proposed north of
the football field, and a new press box and bleachers are proposed at the football field. These im-
provements are anticipated to take place in 2028 or later.
The Plan Commissioners voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the fifth amendment to
the Final Planned Unit Development.
