Pettengill Hall is the home of the social sciences, like history, economics, anthropology, and psychology. When you walk into Pettengill, you know where you\u2019re heading because there\u2019s a compass in the lobby floor! Walk a few steps north and you enter the expansive Perry Atrium, with indoor trees, a soothing waterfall fountain, and a three-story window wall with a commanding view of Lake Andrews. Appointed with elegant Thomas Moser furniture, the atrium is a favorite spot for quiet study alone or with friends. PGill, as we call it, hosts the annual Mount David Summit, a great tradition where hundreds of students present academic research to faculty, staff, family, and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pettengill is named in honor of the late Frederick B. \u201cPat\u201d Pettengill, Bates class of 1931, and his wife, Ursula P. Pettengill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
