Earlier this fall, the new Scanlan Campus Center opened to rave reviews from the Loomis Chaffee community, bringing Pelicans together in a space that established itself almost immediately as the epicenter of student life. A walk through the center at virtually any time of day shows how quickly students, faculty, and staff have incorporated the space into their daily lives, from studying on the third floor to tinkering on the lower level, relaxing in a lounge to enjoying the food court. We hope you will enjoy the following special issue of  Explore Loomis  that introduces this incredible addition to the Island.
