The Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Upper School building was originally built as a Library/Learning Center and dedicated to Founding Headmaster Peter A. Schwartz in May 1976. The two-level building is designed around a central commons area that is the core of the Upper School community. Classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technological features are located around the perimeter of the commons area. In addition to academic classrooms, the Upper School Office, the College Counseling Office, Community Service Program, Health and Wellness Counselor, Schwartz Meeting Room and Breakthrough Fort Worth, an outreach program, are located in the building.
