Bates College, Pettingill Hall

Lewiston, ME | 1999

Pettengill Hall houses Bates' social science departments and related programs. One of the building's principal elements, the three-story Perry Atrium, overlooks Lake Andrews. The atrium acts as a social hub while providing views for adjacent classroom and seminar spaces. Below the atrium, a 120-seat interactive classroom anchors the ground floor. Two wings accommodate flexible classroom, office, and lounge space. Computer classrooms and workrooms are scattered throughout.

Located on the site of a former maintenance building, the Hall completes a ring of central campus buildings that frame Lake Andrews. Developed in concert with a landscape master plan of the campus, the building offers direct connection to and views of the lower campus.
