In 2002, Merit's Board of Trustees launched OPENING DOORS: A Campaign of Merit. This $19,000,000 capital and endowment campaign was specifically designed to secure a permanent home for the school. Merit moved to the new facility, the Joy Faith Knapp Music Center, located at 38 South Peoria Street in the West Loop, in June 2005. This beautiful new space provides Merit with dramatically improved facilities and room to grow. We have reached our $19,000,000 goal, yet there are still capital improvements that need to be made to continue to enhance our school. If you are interested in learning more about these improvements, please contact Allison Volkman, Director of Development, at 312-267-4462.
We are grateful to Honorary Campaign Chair, Howard Gottlieb, and Campaign Co-Chairs, Dick Kiphart, Ginny Foreman and Louise Glasser, for leading the fundraising efforts. Also, a special thank you to Merit Trustees Jerry James and Jules Knapp who made this new home possible. | ||||
