Folsom Hall
Named in Honor of: Ida M. Folsom

Folsom Hall was completed in 1968, and it was dedicated on May 25, 1969 to Miss Ida Folsom, who served as a science teacher at Aroostook State Normal School from 1912 until 1935.

Folsom Hall was built with the purpose of being a mathematics and science facility. Many classrooms on the second floor are used for mathematics, while the third floor is home to five science laboratories, a herbarium, and one classroom. The first floor of Folsom Hall contains a large lecture auditorium, commonly called the Fishbowl by the campus community. That same floor also contains three computer laboratories.

A special feature of Folsom Hall is that it recently, on October 5, 1996, became home to the Northern Maine Museum of Science. Museum displays are on the topics of conchology, mineralogy, ornithology, paleontology, and zoology.
