FRYEBURG, Maine — Fryeburg Academy on Monday marked the opening of the $6.5 million Thomas D. Shaffner Hall, which includes a snappy new dining room and is part of a project that will include a counseling center and student union.
Named for a longtime trustee, parent and benefactor, the 10,000-square-foot Shaffner Hall encompasses the relocated Elroy O. and Marion LaCasce Dining Room and expands seating from 180 to 342.
