List of Colby College buildings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colby College overlooks the Kennebec River valley and city of Waterville.

In 2013 Colby became the fourth college in the country to achieve carbon neutrality. Colby uses 100-percent renewable electricity, has 12 LEED-certified buildings (other certifications pending), has geothermal heating and cooling in two buildings, and has a biomass plant that burns sustainably harvested wood to heat most campus buildings.

Miller Library

1939

Miller Library is Colby's main library, which stands at the center of campus. Named for the parents of Merton L. Miller and designed by Jens Fredrick Larson, this building was modeled on Dartmouth College's Baker Library, which in turn was inspired in design by Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Miller Library's collection supports all curriculum areas and contains more than 600 print journals, more than 47,000 electronic journals, and domestic and international daily newspapers. It houses the college archives and Special Collections and is a repository for U.S. government and Maine state documents. Recent renovations to Miller Library (2012–15) were designed to create more study and office spaces, restore the library's “grand reading room,” and fashion a more impressive “entry sequence.”[1] [2]

It was upgraded with National Science Foundation grants that provided computerized controls and high-quality digital imaging capability in 1999, and an astronomy classroom was built adjacent to the observatory. Collins Observatory was moved to its current location, adjacent to the Colby Organic Garden, in 2016. [10]

Collaborative efforts between the Environmental Studies Advisory Group, Dining Services, Biology, Environmental Studies, Summer Programs, and the Physical Plant Departments led to the construction of a shed for the garden, establishment of water lines, and creation of the student summer garden intern position. [39]

Johnson, 15th president of the college, Johnson Pond has been a cornerstone of the campus, enjoyed by students in all seasons.
