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 new center of environmental activities on the Yale campus 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.
