New & Noteworthy

Thoughtful Growth

The school is continuing to develop in ways that are consistent with our mission and support our ambition to be the finest small, coeducational, college-preparatory boarding school in the country.

As Millbrook has become a school of 300+ students, we have most recently completed construction on a spacious new dining hall to accommodate the larger school population. Like the Flagler Memorial Chapel, the new dining hall is a gathering place for the entire community—students, faculty, staff, and their families. This demands that the dining hall be the best possible combination of form and function, that it is as beautiful and inspirational as it is functional, effective, and green.

Our goal is always to preserve and enhance the best of Millbrook’s campus design and architecture with the goal of having all alumni who return to campus say, “It looks just the same, only better!"

Millbrook's Newest Facilities

Millbrook's campus has evolved tremendously over the past several years as facilities improvements have been made in almost every area of school life. With an investment of more than $60 million over the past 20 years, the following new buildings and renovations represent a commitment to continually improving the educational experience for Millbrook students:

The Mill, the historic Mill underwent a complete rennovation that concluded in the summer of 2017. This iconic campus building, which many alumni remember as the Arts Center, is now the entrance to the Trevor Zoo, and is enhancing the experience of our students and visitors of the zoo in so many ways.
The Dining Hall, completed in 2016, our new 12,000 sqare foot dining hall is a gathering place for the entire community—students, faculty, staff, and their families. It is the best possible combination of form and function, as it is just as beautiful and inspirational as it is functional, effective, and green.
West Hall, the new girls dormitory on the west end of campus, was completed for the opening of the 2014 school year.
The Barn, one of the oldest buildings on campus, underwent a complete renovation in 2012. Housing the student center, the Millbrook Cafe, the School Store, and the College Counseling Office, it is a favorite gathering place for students on campus.
The Reese Squash Center was expanded in 2012 to include four new international squash courts (for a total of eight), an expansive viewing area, and new team rooms.
Harris Hall now extends to the space where the health center used to reside. The Miller Brown Health Center was rebuilt in a bright new facility just behind Pulling House.
The Harris-Kenan Language Center was created in 2009. Spaces here were designed for collaborative study and immersion in world cultures and languages and use the latest in technology to access resources from around the world.
The Hamilton Math & Science Center was completed in 2008 and houses state of the art classrooms and labs for math and science classes.
