Blair Academy’s plans to enhance and expand its campus, as well as its activity and athletic facilities, began this spring. As of August 1, Blair's outdoor fields have undergone a major transformation and are on schedule to be completed in time for the new school year. The new all-weather turf football field will allow many teams, including boys’ and girls’ soccer and lacrosse, to utilize the space for practice and games. The addition of lighting will bring night games to Blair, so that the entire community can come to a football, field hockey or lacrosse game, much as it does now for basketball in the winter.
In addition, a new all-weather track will replace the current cinder track, and students will gain new tennis courts, a junior varsity baseball field, and at least one additional practice field. In 2006 a generous gift allowed Blair to add 120 acres to the campus. The new property has allowed Blair to move the seventh fairway of the golf course west, making room for this expansion and helping to preserve the rural beauty of the campus.
