Schiller Coastal Studies Center

Located on a former farm, the Schiller Coastal Studies Center (SCSC) at Bowdoin College includes 2.5 miles of rocky shoreline and 118 acres of coastal spruce-pine forest and fields, just 13 miles from Bowdoin's campus. Its access to the Gulf of Maine, diversity of natural habitats, and well-equipped science and residential facilities open up a wide range of marine, estuarine, and terrestrial research and teaching opportunities. 

With its accessible oceanside location and modernized facilities, the Center is foundational to Bowdoin's expanding role as a leader in environmental studies.
