Unlike most colleges that offer a large menu of majors, College of the Atlantic specializes only in human ecology. So, it’s fitting that a college that teaches its 300 students
about the interconnections between human and natural systems integrates those
principles into its new Kathryn W. Davis Student Village Housing. Because most of the
buildings of this coastal campus are large 1800s-era summer cottages, the Bar Harbor,
Maine college chose residential-scaled buildings, rather than a large dormitory.
