The
Master Plan
Milton Academy is affirming its historical
commitment to educational excellence by advancing the teaching,
learning and living environment for students and faculty.
Over a five to seven year span beginning in 2002, the master
plan
- Dramatically increases classroom
space and provides learning places that facilitate the
best teaching in each discipline, through renovation of
academic buildings and the addition of new science and
visual arts buildings
- Involves the faculty in inquiry,
research and planning about innovations in teaching methods,
curriculum and program
- Draws the community to the center
of campus in a new student center, facilitating those
Milton relationships among faculty, staff and students
that spark extraordinary growth
- Adds residential spaces that
sustain the celebrated strengths of Milton’s boarding
program and unifies the academic and residential lives
of students on a single campus
- Implements an imaginative and
developmentally appropriate Middle School with its own
faculty, administration and setting
- Unifies the Lower School on the
east campus with newly designed learning spaces that best
serve younger children

Where
are we now?
Warren and Wigglesworth halls, core academic buildings,
were renovated in 2002 and 2003.
The Schwarz Student Center, was opened in October 2003,
and dedicated in honor of H. Marshall Schwarz ’54
and on April 23, 2004.
Two new residences, housing 42 boys and girls respectively,
open in September 2004.
Science faculty, administrators and architects are transforming
curriculum and teaching plans into designs for the new science
building that will use the site of the current science building.
A visual arts team is undertaking the same programming and
design task for the visual arts building that will use the
site of the current head of school’s house.
On the horizon are: two additional new dormitories near
Upton Field; renovations of Goodwin and Hathaway houses
on the east campus for a relocation of the Lower School;
and renovations of Greenleaf and the Caroline Saltonstall
Building for a self-contained Middle School.
