Brewster Hall Renovation

Built in 1955 and named for our first head of school, Brewster Hall is part of Cardigan Mountain School’s history. Our two-year initiative to revitalize faculty and student living spaces, manage critical infrastructure, and endow future maintenance is designed to support the next generation of Brewster residents.

A Residential Workhorse

On a campus where residents live, work, and play together, comfortable and sustainable living space is critical. Meeting this standard in Brewster means reconfiguring legacy infrastructure for future decades of service. In addition to updating systems and student living spaces, Brewster’s four apartments will be modernized to meet the high standards that help Cardigan attract and retain superlative teaching faculty. 

Long-Term Vision

Planned improvements will take place across two summers, avoiding academic disruptions yet delivering steady improvement to Brewster residents. Now halfway to our fundraising goal of $3 million, Cardigan undertakes the first phase of Brewster’s revitalization during summer 2026. Two new faculty apartments will be available in the fall, with two more to be completed during summer 2027. The fully-funded project will also endow building maintenance, ensuring that critical infrastructure can be maintained and improved each year as needed.
