Proctor Academy is situated in a New England village with informally arranged white clapboard buildings. The exterior of the new learning center is modern in style, yet its massing, clapboard exterior, timber frame structure and window details are appropriate to its rural context. The interior space of the library is modeled after a New England meeting house, as a high-ceilinged single volume. The program includes 30,000 square feet of library space, a computer center, classrooms, and tutorial rooms.
