— Innovation Center —

One of the most exciting additions to Baldwin’s campus during Dr. Porges’ tenure is the state-of-the-art Innovation Center, which transformed the old pool house into a welcoming academic hub that seamlessly integrates the latest technology with the architectural traditions of our campus.

Completed in Spring 2022, the Innovation Center is home to interdisciplinary teaching and learning across all classes, grades and divisions and supports our girls’ focus on creativity, teamwork and adaptability. The open, flexible space provides a place where students partner with each other and with outside experts on projects that simulate work in the real world, where faculty collaborate on new courses and electives, and where students present their research and projects to classmates, parents and public audiences.

We are grateful to Sally Warehime Yelland ’54, who provided the lead gift that allowed construction of the Innovation Center to begin in Summer 2021. Sally was inspired to support this project by the strength of the School’s strategic vision, the bold leadership of Dr. Porges and her personal commitment to sharing the gifts of Baldwin with future generations.
