With construction of the Lindsay Center for Mathematics and Science now well underway, it is fitting that the St. Paul’s School community reflects back upon the places that have served the study of science and mathematics so well throughout the School’s history. Given the times during which they were constructed, the underlying concepts and design of many of these buildings on the grounds were bold, forward-thinking and, by any reasonable measure, highly successful ventures. They were the product of visionary school leadership that championed science and mathematics as critical components to students’ achieving a solid and broad-ranging education upon graduating. These were also buildings that were made possible through the enormous generosity of many benefactors whose love and friendship for the School are a tribute to their families and a gift to generations of SPS students, faculty and staff.
