What Are Ada and Alan Telling Us?

Our solar-powered monitoring stations have transformed Choate Pond into a real-time laboratory.

What is in Pace drinking water?

Here is your guide to campus drinking water. It includes a description of Pace Pleasantville water sources, applicable drinking water rules, and an archive of Annual Water Quality Reports.
