Bowdoin New Roux Center Symbolizes Environmental Commitment

Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine dedicated a new building symbolizing an institutional focus on the environment. Named the Roux Center, it was built to the highest standards of “green” architecture and earned a LEED Platinum certification.


The Center was funded by a lead gift of $10 million from David and Barbara Roux and it was designed to bring together faculty and students from across the College’s curriculum, fostering collaboration and creativity in the teaching and study of the environment.
