Killington Mountain School Acquires Moguls Sports Pub to Expand Campus
Killington, VT – August 12, 2024 – Killington Mountain School (KMS), a leading educational institution for competitive mountain sport athletes, is thrilled to announce its acquisition of Moguls Sports Pub, a former fixture of Killington’s restaurant scene. This strategic move reflects KMS’ commitment to expanding its campus footprint and enhancing the living and learning experience for its student-athletes, program participants, families, and the greater community.
“We have exceptional programs. Our expert faculty, coaches, and staff across all departments are delivering an extraordinary KMS experience every day,” stated Claire Butler, KMS’ Head of School. “We are on a mission to ensure that the quality of our facilities matches the high quality of those programs.”
KMS is looking forward to the work ahead as they incorporate this new property into their larger campus plan. The additional 1.9 acres and accompanying 5,780 square foot building present a unique opportunity for the school to expand and modernize its physical space, as well as provide a site for further campus development. Butler expressed, “We are excited to think bigger about the bounds of our campus. This extra acreage and building space have unlocked the ability to bolster the KMS experience with improved facilities, while leaving room for future campus expansion.”
The school plans to begin using the new property soon and has engaged Vermont Integrated Architects (VIA) to assess various uses that align with the vision for KMS’ campus. KMS also continues its partnership with CCS Fundraising as they design together the path to achieving the school’s vision. The school’s new Director of Development, Robin Debiase, will also be integral in driving this exciting work alongside Butler and the KMS Board.
Butler and KMS' Assistant Head of School, Chris Bianchi, expressed gratitude for Robert “Sal” Salmeri, former owner of Moguls Sports Pub. “Helping the community has always been important to Sal. He wanted to see Moguls go to KMS because, as he said to me, ‘the children are the future,' recalls Bianchi. Butler echoed Bianchi’s sentiments stating, “We intend to honor the Moguls legacy by investing further in the property to ensure that Sal’s wishes to support our student-athletes, their dreams, and this local center of excellence that we call Killington Mountain School, are maximized.”
