Buildings do factor into decisions especially for prospective students.
All three of my kids did CC when they were younger and my last one is finishing up 8th grade in Challenge B. Next year she's following her older brother & sister's path of Logos Online School for high school. Seeing the Veritas name had me immediatey thinking of the curriculum.
Quite true. While somewhat superficial, the physical plant of the school is an outward indication of the level of investment in and importance of a particular field of study.
Both of our teens began their studies in the CC curriculum from age 4/5. We've moved on to a newer co-op that allows for more hands on work by the tutors, as the rigidity (ironically!) of the local CC group was becoming overbearing. Did your older kids perceive that their CC background was helpful/preparatory for later studies? I was not educated in a rigorous pedagogical system such as CC, so it will be interesting to observe my kids' transition to undergraduate and graduate studies.
But back to buildings, at least there may be a new cafeteria! I am old enough to remember SAGA, which at the time was colloquially referred to as the Soviet Attempt to Gag America
. I also helped move the old SAGA kitchen equipment to Reber Thomas while I worked for building services; the back areas of that old cafeteria were unbelievably disgusting and filthy. Glad I didn't eat there for very long!
