Academic Facilities
The original Academy building is Baxter Hall, which housed the humanities classrooms. The new Miller Center, formerly the student center, is home to the English and Social Studies programs, Fitch Science Hall houses the math and science classrooms, and the E. E. Just Center provides a home for the environmental science programs. There are three major computer labs and a language lab, and each academic department has an individual computer minilab.
The Flickinger Arts Center contains a 400-seat fully equipped theater; a dance studio; a darkroom; soundproof music rooms and practice rooms; ceramics, painting, and drawing studios; an art gallery; and a state-of-the-art computer lab/recording studio.
The Elizabeth Dorr Coffin Library houses over 20,000 volumes, more than 100 periodical titles, a large video/DVD/audio book library of more than 1500 titles, and a considerable microfiche collection. A dozen computer workstations provide access to a number of subscription databases and other online resources.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or facilities:
“The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
