The Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies, located south
of Harkness Hall, is one of the most advanced examples of ecological architecture
in America. Construction crews completed work on the building in January
2000. The following semester, classes in conservation biology, environment
and society, sustainable agriculture, ecological design, environmental
education, physical geology, and solar energy were held in the center.
Future plans at the Lewis Center include the installation of 3,700 sq.
ft. of photovoltaic panels, a data display monitor in the atrium, and
additional grounds landscaping.
