I had a chance to roam around campus for a while. It’s in a great location – one side is the ocean and literally across the street is Acadia National Park.
The college concentrates on environmental arts, sciences and design. Claire would be a great fit for this place.
It’s the first “carbon-neutral” campus. This is the new wood-pellet fired boiler that heats the campus.
This is the administration building, among other things. Parts of the campus were formerly a monastery.
Here’s a formal herb garden overlooking the bay.
These are the student dormitories.
The shore right on campus property.
Finally, for Martin, a whale skull!
So great to see these photos! Our daughter attended COA for a year and we visited her a year and a half ago for parents’ weekend. What a spectacular place. We did some of the same hikes as your family! Did you get a chance to go to the student-operated COA farm?
