Merrill Science Center is named for Charles E. Merrill of the class of 1908, who was a frequent
donor to the college throughout his life. Ground was broken on the building in the fall
of 1966, and construction was completed in 1968. The $7 million building was designed by
Campbell, Aldrich and Nulty of Boston (Archives and Special Collections, Buildings & Grounds
Collection, box 12, folder 63). It houses a number of labs and classrooms, as well as
three large lecture halls. (Photo taken 12 October 2001). |
