Edward Durell Stone to design Windham College expansion on a 300 acre campus. Plans include two dormitories for 400 plus students, two more later, a $430000 library, and an $800000 science building in 1966. Buildings emphasize harmonious rural aesthetics with skylit academic spaces and fireplaces.
A Vermont Windham College expansion showcases alumnus Stone's broader campus design portfolio. The project, partly funded by the 1963 Higher Education Facilities Act grants and loans, marks Windham as the first private Vermont college to receive such a grant. Buildings include science halls and housing repurposed from barns to classrooms and dormitories, with Stone's work spanning the National Geographic Society Building and JFK Center.
