Academic Facilities

In true human ecological fashion, the boundaries between academic, residential and recreational life sometimes blur at COA. For example, Beech Hill Farm - the college's working organic farm - is the centerpiece of the academic program in agriculture and food systems. The farm also supplies produce to Take-A-Break, the college's dining facility, where a simple meal becomes an educational opportunity when students begin to consider where and how their food was produced. Although the entire COA campus functions on many levels as a learning laboratory, these facilities directly support the academic program:


The college partners with a variety of organizations to provide educational opportunities for students. Some of these organizations include:


College of the Atlantic, 105 Eden Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609
