This two-story, 16,589-square-foot Bartlett Center, located at the east side of the Quadrangle, was the first building in Worcester to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification when it opened in 2006. The building was constructed using sustainable design principles and features floor-to-ceiling glass windows and water- and energy-efficient systems. It houses WPI’s offices of Admissions and Financial Aid and serves as a welcome center for campus visitors, particularly thousands of prospective students and their families who come to tour the school each year. The construction of the building was made possible by a contribution from James L. Bartlett ’39 and his wife, Shirley.
