Bishop Nevins Academy

Bishop Nevins Academy is the campus that houses St. Mary Academy and St. Martha Catholic School. It is named for Bishop Emeritus John J. Nevins.[1] The school's opened their present facility in 2002. The school buildings were designed by architect Rafael Moreu of Moreu & Associates and are two-story monolithic domes with stemwalls.[2] It is located at 4380 Fruitville Road. It opened with classrooms (I.e. math), a library, a common room, restrooms, a chapel, gym, a cafeteria, and a playground, for K-5 during playtime and a playing field for 6-8 during playtime (aka breaktime)/break.

Saint Martha Catholic School was opened in 1950 and had its first campus near St. Martha Catholic Church. In the early 1990s, the school felt they needed to move campuses to a new and bigger location, so they selected the present day location. Funding was secured by parish donations and other benefactors. Construction began and was finished in 2002 when both school's and the campus finally opened. [3] Bishop Nevins Academy houses St. Mary Academy and St. Martha Catholic School, which both are separate schools. St. Mary Academy is a school for special-needs students, while St. Martha is a private Catholic school. There originally wasn't a gym because the price of steel skyrocketed during construction because of the events of September 11. Later in 2015, construction ended on the Zazarino Center, which is a gym and auditorium, and it also contains classrooms, and a small conference room. The structure consists of multiple classrooms, a stage, a gym, offices, and event space.[4] The campus hasn't had any renovations since the building originally opened.
