CAMPUS EVOLUTION
The extraordinary physical beauty of the Phillips Academy campus derives from the careful thought and attention given to it throughout its history. Adaptable and ever-changing, Phillips Academy grew from many campuses into one. The legacy of this evolution is a diversity of buildings, places, and landscapes anchored by the image of the “Ideal Andover” of the Charles Platt era. While the architecture and landscape of the Ideal Andover period form an indelible image of Phillips Academy, many fragments of other historical phases of development are still present yet are less prominent or coherently integrated within the campus experience. Without losing the power of its iconic image, the Campus Master Plan highlights the diversity of places, spaces, and experiences of the campus and seeks to weave these together into a stronger whole. The master plan celebrates the diversity of the campus while also enhancing landscapes and connections to unify the campus, from north to south and from east to west.
