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:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
