VAIL STUDENT CENTER

The Vail Student Center, located on the lower campus at LI, was formerly the location of the Thaddeus Stevens School. The Thaddeus Stevens School moved to another location, making room for the conversion of the barn for a new student center.

The barn was built in 1912 as part of the T.N. Vail Agriculture School and Farms. T.N. Vail, the founder of AT&T was a generous benefactor of Lyndon Institute and a former President of the Board of Trustees. There is a large display in the new student center honoring T.N. Vail and the history of the agricultural school.  

Funding for the renovations of the barn was made possible by a generous donation from the LI Class of 1965. The student center features the John Sackett Fitness Center, TV and game room, vending machines, and workspaces.
