Cape Cod Academy marked
the almost-opening last week
of "a science buildingthat any
college would be proud to
call its own," in the words of
Headmaster Tom Evans.
Upper school students at
the Osterville campus will
move into their newlab rooms
after schoolvacation later this
month, according to science
department chair Patricia
Bartlett.
Count Bartlett as one of
the many admirers of Ted
Bellingrath, the late Oster-
ville architect who designed
the four-story building and
its soaring enclosure for a
Foucault pendulum.
"About five years ago, the
architect met withthe science
department collectively and
then each of us individually
and visited classes so that he
wouldknowthe sorts ofthings
we knew," Bartlett recalled.
"He was a very, very good
listener as well as a brilliant
architect."
Each teacher,Bartlett said,
"had different ideas about
our classrooms. (Bellingrath)
liked the idea of individual-
izing the rooms and not just
having one plan. He and the
physics teacher (Christopher
Kelly) and Mr. Evans were
the ones who thought of the
pendulum."
Said pendulum wasthe cen-
terpiece of last week's events,
withstudents ConnorMcCann
and Lorisa Vellone snipping a
ribbon to setitinmotion above
asatellite photograph of Cape
Cod, the Islands and South-
eastern Massachusetts. A fact
sheet records that thiswasthe
last availablefrom the Califor-
niaAcademyofSciences,which
once made pendulums for the
BostonMuseumofScience,the
Chicago Museum of Science
and Industry, and the Smith-
sonian in Washington, D.C.
Evans called the map pro-
vided byNewEngland Repro-
graphics of West Yarmouth
"remarkable.Youcan find the
wakes of the ferries going to
the Islands."
Looking up four floors to
rings of students peering
down, Evans said the build-
ing "wasn't just another job
to (Bellingrath). This atrium
and the pendulum were his
special joy."
Observing the Swarovski
crystalballssuspended inthe
atrium to catch and refract
sunlight, Evans said, "These
nine jewels can be thought
of as his presence with us.
When you see rainbows,think
of him."
