Founded in 1929 and dedicated on October 14, 1930, St. Andrew’s School in Middletown, DE, is a private boarding school that has been educating students in a serene and nurturing environment for decades. Its picturesque campus even caught the eye of Hollywood, as it was the setting for the 1989 American drama “Dead Poets Society” — starring Robin Williams. Recently, the Sipprelle Field House was constructed on the premises, and the use of regional stone roots the building to its surroundings.
“St. Andrew’s School is a beautiful idyllic collegiate Gothic campus on a pond,” said Daniela Voith, AIA, LEED, IIDA of Voith & Mactavish Architects LLP in Philadelphia, PA. “It is very much a rural setting. The main entrance drive comes in along the playing field. As you drive, you start to see the lovely, delicately scaled collegiate Gothic historic buildings.
