Serving as a gateway to Proctor’s 2,500 acres of woodlands for science classes and other outdoor-focused pursuits, the Woodlands Building’s timber frame construction utilizes timbers harvested on Proctor’s land last summer and then milled in Tamworth, New Hampshire before returning to campus.

Located to the north of the Mary Lowell Stone and Sally B dormitories, and adjacent to Leonard Field, the building features two large wet-labs/classroom spaces, a grand common area with a fireplace for group gatherings, and an attached greenhouse that will host science classes, including Proctor’s new botany class. Proctor will host an open house for this new building later in the fall. Stay tuned for details!
