The Inquiry Collaborative will serve as Cate’s new academic hub for learning, innovation, and exploration. By supporting an infrastructure for ideation and fabrication, Cate will empower students’ ability to solve multi-faceted problems by leveraging the latest tools and technologies. The Co-Lab will feature an ideation lab, computational thinking classroom, digital arts lab, and a creation courtyard adjacent to the ceramics studio.

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean and magnificent vistas, an indoor/outdoor reading room with natural light and comfortable seating will be inviting for students and faculty alike. Cate’s reimagined library will provide a variety of study pods for quiet and energetic study. The Inquiry Collaborative will support interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of computational thinking, design, engineering, and the arts.

Every Thursday morning, instead of meeting in the theater for assembly, you gather with the entire community in the Katharine Thayer Cate Memorial Chapel to hear a personal presentation from a faculty member or classmate, often a senior.

Here are some examples of Servons Speakers in 2023-24.
