Keystone’s most historic building, Harris Hall, was constructed over a century ago. This building now accommodates faculty offices and several classrooms and computer labs. To one side of Harris lies Capwell Hall, Keystone’s science center. Here students will find laboratories and computer facilities for science and mathematics as well as several classrooms and faculty offices. The fully-equipped instrumental science labs enrich the environmental studies and biology programs. Art and theatre facilities lie on the other side of Harris Hall. Studios for ceramics, drawing, sculpture, and glass-blowing are located in the Art Center, while photography and media studies laboratories can be found in nearby Ward Hall. Adjacent to the art complex is Brooks Hall, which houses the College’s theatre facilities, painting, and graphic design studios. Gardner Hall next to the Gambal Athletic Center, is the home for student recreational space.
Serving as the main hub of activity on campus, the Hibbard Campus Center is home to the Student Restaurant and Giants’ Den. Many offices and clubs are also located in Hibbard.
