Opened in 2023, the Aliki Perroti & Seth Frank Lyceum is the home of the Center for Humanistic Inquiry (CHI) and the History Department. In addition to faculty and staff offices, the Lyceum includes the CHI Think Tank, multi-purpose classroom and seminar rooms, and the History Commons.
The Lyceum consists of a mid-18th-century former residence at 197 South Pleasant Street and a new addition to the south and west. The Lyceum is Amherst's first building with an ambitious goal for zero embodied carbon, with mass-timber framing and careful consideration of the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing and transporting materials.
