Sage Hall was completed in 1923. The building was a gift from William H. Sage, B.A. 1865, in memory of his son, DeWitt Linn Sage, B.A. 1897.
Sage Hall, a four-story brownstone located at 205 Prospect Street, is the headquarters of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. The administrative offices and library of the School are housed in Sage Hall, as are most of the classrooms. Sage Hall is home to a computer center for students as well as a large student lounge. The offices of the Dean, Associate and Assistant Deans, and several faculty members are also located in Sage.
Bowers Hall was erected in 1931 as an addition to Sage Hall from funds provided by the bequest of Edward A. Bowers, B.A. 1879.
Bowers Auditorium, a room designed to handle large lectures and seminars as well as small group projects, is located off the back of Sage Hall, between the first and second floors.
Marsh Hall was originally the residence of Professor Othniel C. Marsh (link to Marsh page), B.A. 1860, a distinguished paleontologist and Western explorer of the nineteenth century. Marsh bequeathed the building to the University in 1899 and for twenty-five years it housed the entire School of Forestry. Marsh Hall was designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior in 1965.
Marsh Hall at 360 Prospect Street is a large four-story brownstone equipped with facilities for research and instruction in mensuration, silviculture, forest economics and policy, and biometry. Many of the forestry and economics faculty have offices in Marsh Hall. The building is surrounded by the Marsh Botanical Garden, an additional learning tool for F&ES students.
The Class of 1954 Environmental Science Center adjoins the Peabody Museum on Sachem Street. In October 2001, the University held a dedication ceremony for the building, which is named for the Yale College Class of 1954 in honor of the $70 million the class donated in 2000 to support new science buildings and other major University priorities.
The Class of 1954 Environmental Science Center at 21 Sachem Street is an interdisciplinary facility that Yale built in order to continue fostering leadership in science and engineering research and teaching. The building was designed to encourage collaboration among faculty and students pursuing environmental studies. The building is the home of the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies, and as well as faculty offices and student facilities associated with the Faculty of Arts Sciences' Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Geology and Geophysics, and Anthropology, as well as F&ES.
