The Reed campus sprawls over more than
100 acres with rolling lawns, brick Tudor Gothic buildings, huge
trees, and a wild, wooded canyon. The first buildings on the grounds,
which was previously Crystal Springs Farm, were completed in 1912.
Recent years have brought a flurry of major building projects
in support of academic programs and student life. New construction
in the past seven years has added almost 30 percent more square
footage, including three new residence halls and a campus center
with a state-of-the-art auditorium. Construction began this summer
on a new facilitythe educational technology center, sited
just east of the library. Several other buildings (as well as
the canyon) are also benefiting from renovation, the latest being
biology, the library, the sports center, and studio art. The result
of all this activity is a pleasing and functional mix of traditional
sensibility and 21st-century technology. For readers who havent
visited campus in awhile, enjoy this visual meander around new
(and Old) Reed . . . .
