A New Life for Eagles Nest
Eagles Nest, which began its life on the Eaglebrook campus as the school’s infirmary, is undergoing a remodel this summer. After spending time as a dorm in the 1980s, then as faculty housing, then as classrooms while the Edward P. Evans Academic Center was being constructed, Eagles Nest is being turned back into a small dormitory that will open in September 2017. It will be the sixth dorm on the Eaglebrook campus.
Mr. Richard Fox, Assistant Headmaster, Dean of Students, had this to say about the construction, “I am excited about Eagle Nest as a dorm because it the dorm where Cindy and I were new faculty. It was also my first dorm as a Housemaster. I think the option of an additional and smaller dorm allows for some greater flexibility in rooming; it also allows us to increase the number of singles we offer and to simultaneously cut back on triples without impacting the number of students. Eagles Nest has a great, central location, and you cannot beat the view. Many of us are looking forward to seeing Infirmary Field being used, once again, as a free time and Home Night activity location.” See a great video Mr. Fox took of the Eagles Nest construction site here.
