With the acquisition of nearly 800 acres of land, Kennebec Valley Community College is developing the Alfond Campus. SMRT designed the first new building on the site, a laboratory and classroom building that includes 3 labs; food prep/packaging, soils research and general science lab, classrooms, a computer lab, a 60-seat tiered auditorium and student lounge and informal learning space. With a goal of getting as close to NetZero as possible with the available budget, the building is a model for future development on the campus.
