Ever Episcopal Campaign The Final Reporton the

Hill Science Center
Designed by architect RMJM Hillier, the
Hill Science Center is a study in effective and
efficient design, incorporating energy efficiency,
passive solar design, and ecologically sensitive
systems. It houses twelve laboratories and is
connected to the Turner Upper School and the
Middle School by corridors, maximizing its
energy efficiency and accessibility to students.
The Hill Science Center adds significant
laboratory space for both Middle and Upper
School science students and incorporates The
Doolittle Greenhouse and Wet Laboratory
for advanced ecological experimentation.
Laboratories are equipped for earth science,
biology, chemistry, and physics, providing
customized spaces for teacher and student.
The atrium and workrooms permit students
to study and work together in proximity to
their research. Its increased space, enhanced
functionality, technological capabilities, and
central location make the Hill Science Center
a state-of-the-art facility for Episcopal’s science
students.
The Hill Science Center was funded
by Jane MacElree, who has an ongoing and
proactive interest in the environment and land
preservation. She has long been an advocate for
education, in particular science education. Her
son Crawford Hill ’70 is Chair of the Science
Department.
