The Third Form Makes a Move

The Third Form classrooms at Eaglebrook have moved three times over the last five years. The classrooms moved from the Bryant Building, where they had been located for many years, in late 2013 because the Bryant Building was to be torn down in preparation for the construction of the Edward P. Evans Academic Center. The Third Form settled into the top floor of Baines House after that, where they remained until February 2018. In mid-February, the Third Form made the moved to new classrooms in the Doubleday Print Shop across Pine Nook Road from the main campus.

 

For the last few years, Doubleday was used as temporary spaces for art, music, and woodshop classes during the Evans Center construction. Once those classrooms were moved to their new homes, the space was refurbished and the sixth graders moved in. “From a Facilities point of view this was a home run in terms of utilizing a physical asset to support Eaglebrook’s priorities,” says Project Manager Wes Smith. The Third Form enjoys the use of two floors in Doubleday, with classrooms downstairs and a project space upstairs. “The easy access to the outdoors is what makes this move especially great,” says Shappy LaPointe, Assistant Headmaster, Dean of Student Life and the chair of the Third Form. The students spend time each week outdoors as part of their curriculum, so being able to enter and exit the building easily only benefits their program.
