Enid A. Haupt Conservatory
Enid A. Haupt Conservatory

The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is a greenhouse at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) in the Bronx, New York, United States. The conservatory was designed by Lord & Burnham Co. in the Italian Renaissance style. Its major design features are inspired by the Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, and Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace.Groundbreaking took place on January 3, 1899 and construction was completed in 1902 at a cost of $177,000. The building was constructed by John R. Sheehan under contract for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Since the original construction, major renovations took place in 1935, 1950, 1978, and 1993. By the 1970s, the building was in a state of extreme disrepair and had to be either substantially rebuilt or torn down. Enid Annenberg Haupt saved the conservatory from demolition with a $5 million contribution for renovation and a $5 million endowment for maintenance of the building. A subsequent renovation, which started in 1978, restored the conservatory closer to its original design, which had been compromised during the 1935 and 1950 renovations. Due to her contributions, the Conservatory was named the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in 1978.The 1993 renovation replaced the inner workings of the conservatory. At this time, the mechanical systems to control temperature, humidity, and ventilation were upgraded to computerized systems. The exhibits were also redesigned. The conservatory serves as a focal point of the park and a center for education. It is a New York City designated landmark.

Academy of Mount St. Ursula

The Academy of Mount St. Ursula is a Catholic girls’ college preparatory school in the United States, which was founded in 1855 as a part of the Monastery of St. Ursula in the town of Morrisania (now a part of the Bronx, New York). In 1892 the monastery relocated to Bedford Park Boulevard and Bainbridge Avenue, two blocks east of the Grand Concourse, in the Bronx. It is the oldest continuously operating Catholic high school for girls in the State of New York, and is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Owned and administered by the Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union, the Academy of Mount St. Ursula's curriculum is based on spiritual and moral values. Providing advanced placement courses and connections with Mercy College and St. John's University, the academy gives qualified students the opportunity to earn college credit in their junior and senior years. Regular college preparatory courses enable the students to excel and apply to a wide variety of colleges and professional schools. The school has been honored by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School. AMSU continues to be accredited by the Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. With a faculty and staff of 55, mainly lay personnel, and approximately 380 students, the Academy of Mount St. Ursula has a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 15 and an average class size of 20 to 25 students. In keeping with its Catholic identity and Ursuline tradition, the academy focuses greatly on community service. The school's motto is SERVIAM. This is the motto of all schools of the Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union. The young women are required to complete a certain number of hours volunteering. They have joined with the young men of Cardinal Hayes High School in the "Cardinal Hayes Program Exceptional Children." The program takes place most Sundays during the academic year. There, the students join in helping children and adults with special needs. Students also are involved in Service Activities through the United Nations, in their parish, elementary schools and community organizations.
