 ATLANTA, GA (Aug. 15, 2012) – Pace Academy has announced plans to build The Arthur M. Blank Family Upper School (top left rendering by AniMagic Productions, Inc.),  .a 75,000-square-foot facility that will replace the current Upper School, constructed in 1961.

To reach its $32 million fundraising goal, the school has launched Aim High, its largest capital campaign to date. The family of Atlanta Falcons Owner and Chairman and The Home Depot Co-Founder Arthur M. Blank (middle right photo) contributed Aim High’s lead gift.

“As the parent of a Pace graduate and three current Pace students, I have seen firsthand the impact the school has on the lives of its students,” said Blank.

Pace (lower left photo)  is a community dedicated to excellence in every arena, and its focus on outstanding academics, close student-teacher relationships, service learning, diversity and global education sets it apart.

“This new Upper School facility will ensure the school’s continued excellence for generations to come. My family and I are thankful to be part of the Pace family and excited to contribute to the new Upper School.”
