Phinizy Swamp Campus
Construction of the Phinizy Swamp Campus was completed in 2005. The complex includes a 3,200 square foot K-12 education building with classroom, laboratory, restrooms, and office space; a 2,000 square foot research facility, to focus on aquatic and ecology-based research projects; a 2,240 square foot administration facility to accommodate Academy President, Vice President, administrative staff, and conference room needs; and a 700 square foot visitor center, to accommodate visitor needs. These new facilities enable the Academy to expand its current education and research programs and, ultimately, will provide opportunities for innovative collaborations. The new Phinizy Swamp campus is accessible to school buses and private vehicles via the School Bus Bridge during Academy events, and via the Floodplain Boardwalk during those and all other times. Funds provided by: The Knox Foundation, Fleming & Sandra Norvell, Carolyn & Peter Lynch, and other private donors in memory of Dr. Thomas W. Blanchard; Mr. and Mrs. Clayton P. Boardman, Jr., the Augusta Neighborhood Improvement Corporation, The Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, the City of Augusta, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton P. Boardman III, Mr. and Mrs. Braye C.
