Kroon Hall is a truly sustainable building: a showcase of the latest developments in green building technology, a healthy and supportive environment for work and study, and a beautiful building that actively connects students, faculty, staff, and visitors with the natural world. Kroon also serves as the center of environmental activities at Yale and an anchor for long-term sustainable development of Science Hill. Kroon also serves as the home of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, internationally known for its excellence. Founded in 1901, the school offers master’s degrees and doctoral programs and serves as a locus for research into local, regional and global environmental issues.
