Description: Sketches, elevations, floor plans Roc's Comments: I started the program in Environmental Design at College of the Atlantic in 1974. We got a good sized grant for the Fund for Post Secondary Education to develop our curriculum. Part of the program was for the advanced students to do pro bono work in the community. The greenhouse was a student designed project and the site analysis done for a new Information building at the head of the island was another. Keith Miller the then superintendent paid the our class' token fee with a bag of silver dollars. We bought a radio. I think Tripp Royce, Wells Bacon, Patty Dodd, Megan and Carole Mananan were some of the students involved with these projects. [show more]
Description: These are drawings of an Auditorium for College of the Atlantic. They are a good example of the extent of the COA campus and future plans in the early 80's. Stewart Brecher was hired to replace me as the teacher in Environmental design. He went to Judy Swazey, the president who had just replaced Ed Kaelber, and complained that I was still involved in the College. Judy decided to use nether of us for the design and hired Dan Sculley as their new architect for the project. There was a faculty member, Paul Dubois, who was an arsonist and Paul for unexplainable reasons burned down the original Campus building. Dan then designed the new Kaelber Hall- dining, library and classroom building and the College prospered from that point on. Long story. Toward the end of my work teaching and establishing a program in Environmental Design at College of the Atlantic I was asked to design a new auditorium for them. Sort of a swan song and thank you gift from the College. Harris Hyman and Barbara Sassaman and I did this. There were a number of alternative schemes presented and they settled on the one included here. There is a clever little 1/8th scale model with removable roof that goes along with these drawings. After I left the College, Stuart Brecher became the design teacher and complained to the new president of COA, Judy Swazey, that he should be the one to do the project. Judy took me to lunch and, while picking up the check, said she had decided to have neither of us do the project but put us on a committee to hire a third architect. Our committee hired Dan Sculley, an old friend, to do the new auditorium. Within the year Paul Dubois, a disgruntled COA teacher set the original Kaelber Hall on fire and it was totally destroyed. Sculley then did an excellent job designing a new Library/student center and Dining Hall in its place. By the time of its completion I was working in Philadelphia for the firm Venturi, Rauch, Scott-Brown and the college of the Atlantic decided to hire Turner Brooks (another friend and Yale classmate) to do a new Auditorium/Classroom building. When we returned to MDI in 1990 I was finally asked to do a project for COA, the reason we moved to MDI in the first place. The building we eventually completed was the Blair/ Tyson Dormitory. Sculley, Brooks and I sat within 2o feet of each other in graduate school and have been friend ever since. We went on to each do projects for Marlboro College in Vermont.
