Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, NH recently celebrated the grand opening of Miller Bicentennial Hall. The project is Phase I of a 3 phase renovation/addition. Phase I includes 14 classrooms, a 38 seat auditorium, and a technology classroom. All of the classrooms are equipped with state of the art Smart Boards, video projectors, speakers and wifi.
The project also includes a new plaza terrace and monumental stairs at the front entry.
Miller Hall was originally constructed as the campus dining hall in 1963 and over the building's lifetime has also served as the student center, the administrative center of the campus and as a fitness center. Phase 2 of the project will relocate the Library into the building and add 3 new classrooms. Phase 3 will add the Learning Center and 3 additional classrooms.
When all phases of the project are complete, there will be 19 classrooms, an auditorium, technology classroom, library with 4 group study rooms, a student lounge, archival display space and a learning center. The building will be 50 years old in the same year as the bicentennial of Kimball Union Academy.
