Collins House dedication

The 46-bed, ecologically designed Collins House residence hall was officially dedicated to outgoing president Dr. Darron Collins ‘92 and his family at a College of the Atlantic ceremony June 9.

COA Board of Directors Chair Beth Gardiner was joined at the speaker’s podium by donors Andrew and Kate Davis, architect Timothy Lock of OPAL Architecture, and Collins. Scores of trustees, staff, faculty, and friends of the college gathered for the event.

Built from a biogenic mass timber structure, paired with wood infill walls and wood fiber insulation, the Collins House all-wood assembly sequesters biogenic carbon while performing at Passive House energy levels, upholding the highest standards of sustainability.
