Courses are taught between classroom and collections space on the Mystic Seaport grounds and the 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) James T. Carlton Marine Science Center (MSC), which opened in September 2007.
These houses are steps away from Mystic Seaport's riverside grounds and, together with the administration building and Marine Science Center, comprise the program's very own Williams–Mystic neighborhood.
This one-of-a-kind combination of residential and academic togetherness offers students a unique environment in which they explore the nation's maritime realm.
Sturges Cottage is a communal recreational space where students can enjoy cable TV, a foosball table, a piano, and basic workout equipment.
Away from the classroom and the seaport grounds, students will continue to find plenty of local attractions to occupy their time with.
