Our Campus
The Lower School at 10 Buckingham Street is a three-acre, nine-building campus “village” nestled in a beautiful residential neighborhood near Harvard Square. The campus features turn-of-the-century houses juxtaposed with light-filled modern structures, all interconnected by winding brick paths, developmentally appropriate playgrounds, and a large playing field.
The newest building on campus, the Lehner Center, features a state-of-the-art music center and computer classroom on the first floor, and a series of modern science labs on the second floor. The third floor is home to the Pokross Room, a large activity space which serves multiple purposes throughout the year.

Built in 1920 as the main schoolhouse for the Buckingham School, the Brick Building now holds classrooms for Grade 5 and 6 students. It also features a beautiful hardwood gymnasium, computer classroom, library, and common spaces.
Along a shady stretch of quiet Cambridge road sit the Markham House, Morrison House, and Bridgman House. These charming turn-of-the-century houses contain art and math classrooms, the Admissions Office, and BB&N’s After School Program respectively. Sitting on what was originally a pear orchard, the Markham House was the first schoolhouse in Cambridge when it opened in 1901.
Central to the Lower School campus are two playgrounds and a large synthetic-surface field, allowing students generous open spaces to play and explore on.
Buildings


The sounds of laughter and excitement are a constant in the Morse Building, a structure that houses Beginner, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 classrooms, a music room, a library, and the Director’s Office.
The New Wing was added to the original Buckingham School house known as the Brick Building, and features classrooms for Grade 2, 3, and 4 students. This innovative renovation has married the old-world charm of a 1900s brick façade to the steel beams and natural light of more modern learning spaces.
