Chaminade Julienne High School has invested in real estate around its South Ludlow Street core for years, creating Roger Glass Stadium and a practice field northeast of Longworth and Washington streets, as well as a tennis complex between Eaker and Franklin streets.
The Catholic school has also invested along Eaker itself, creating its Founders Center and Skelton Family Community Center.
The Dayton Daily News first reported the school’s latest investment last week.
CJ to tear down newest downtown acquisition, ‘reimagine’ Dayton campus
Chaminade Julienne bought what was the Terminal Cold Storage/Dayton Frozen Solutions building along 20 to 60 Eaker recently for $675,000.
Opening new doors: CJ President Dan Meixner told me in 2021 that the school’s 15- to 20-year master plan has called for an expansion of its campus where possible.
This acquisition “will open doors to new teaching and learning spaces that will shape the experiences of students for generations to come,” the school said.
But the first step will be securing the money to tear down the former cold storage building, a school spokeswoman said.

West Carrollton forum provides update on River District project, including whitewater park
Plans for a whitewater project are “going to be unlike anything else in the immediate vicinity,” Mike Lucking, West Carrollton’s economic development director, said Thursday.
Mixed-use: About $15 million in public development would pay for a whitewater park with kayaking, river surfing, a lazy river feature and more.
