Schiller Coastal Studies Center
With the construction of new facilities at the Schiller Coastal Studies Center from May 2019 until August 2020, the College completed a significant expansion of opportunities for students and researchers studying the ocean and the environment. The project included a single story 4,200 square foot Dry Lab with teaching, research and preparation lab and support spaces, as well as a single story 4,950 square foot Living & Learning building, which provides spaces for classes, conferences and dining. The residential component consists of three 1,800 square foot, six-bedroom cabins, and a 950 square foot apartment cabin.
The cabins, apartment and Living & Learning building have been designed to Passive House standards with “super” insulation, triple-pane windows, and efficient air-exchange systems for heating and cooling.
