Rutgers Preparatory School - Campus

Campus

The 45-acre (180,000 m2) campus is located in Somerset, New Jersey directly on the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the Raritan River. The historic 18th century Elm Farm building, which was the home of the Wells family in the late eighteenth century, now houses administrative offices and several classrooms. The campus includes 3 full size athletic fields, a FieldTurf synthetic turf field, a softball field, and a full size baseball field. The "Field House" currently features two full size gyms, male and female locker rooms with showers, a wrestling room, a weight room, and the offices of the athletic administration and trainer.

In 2009, the school broke ground on a multi-million dollar, multi-phased endeavor that includes an expansion of the system of roads and parking on the campus, a widening of Easton Avenue, the addition of new athletic fields and tennis courts, and the construction of an entirely new complex. The first phase of the new complex, which was completed for the 2011-2012 school year, houses the dining commons and several new classrooms on the first floor. The second floor of this new building is slated for completion by Fall 2012, but will include several more upper school classrooms and other multi-use space. A 400-seat adjoining auditorium and performing arts center will be constructed alongside the current structure, thus completing the multi-million dollar student center. The school has also contemplated building an aquatic facility several times.
