Building Belonging, Community & Learning

The Hall of Nations Renewal Fund

At the heart of the College is a space that every student, faculty, and community member know well—WIC’s Hall of Nations. While this space serves as the College’s cafeteria during the lunch hour, it also functions as the venue for many of WIC’s important moments, including school assemblies, guest speakers, student showcases, parent meetings, and community celebrations that mark key moments in our students’ lives.

Right now, our Hall of Nations does double duty—but it’s primarily equipped for lunch service, with seating, layout and equipment designed more for function than connection.

Upgrading shared student spaces, like our Hall of Nations, is an investment in the heart of school life. The Hall of Nations is more than a physical space—it is a place where WIC students connect, grow, and build a sense of belonging.

With your help, it can be so much more.

A Space That

Brings Us Together

As the College continues to grow and evolve, we have an exciting opportunity to re-imagine our Hall of Nations, so it better reflects the energy, talent, and potential of the students who gather there.

We are seeking support to make targeted upgrades in the Hall of Nations that will have a lasting impact.

Together, we’re creating a space that will:

  • Boost student well-being, engagement and belonging: Well designed, welcoming communal spaces promote a stronger sense of school spirit, inclusion and connection.
  • Support learning outcomes: Though not a traditional classroom, our Hall of Nations is a hub for learning. It hosts WIC tutorials, student competitions, like Business Cases, and enables informal collaboration.
  • Create a welcoming and functional event space for important WIC community gatherings.

Transforming Connection and Learning

To bring this vision to life, we need key updates that make the Hall of Nations more functional, flexible and welcoming for everyone. We need the following key upgrades:

  • New flexible seating and tables for the area around Café des Loups

  • New screens to enable better viewing and audience engagement from all points in the Hall of Nations.

  • Soft and flexible seating for use by students, guests, and faculty & staff.

The Difference This Will Make

This renewal isn’t just about updating a space—it’s about deepening the connections that make WIC feel like home. An improved Hall of Nations means:

  • More meaningful student experiences.
  • Stronger school and community connections.
  • A deeper sense of pride in our shared environment.

Join us in reimagining the Hall of Nations.

Every donor to this project will be recognized on a plaque displayed within the Hall of Nations—an enduring tribute to those who help shape the heart of our school.
Thank you for supporting a project that strengthens connection, pride, and community for every member of WIC.
