purchased the Walnut Street property where Rhino’s is also located in September 2005. The newest occupant is The Caldwell Center for Culture and Ecology.

This new environmental education center is anchored on the vision of a longtime and internationally recognized environmental educator, Lynton Keith Caldwell, and will be operated as part of Harmony Education Center.

Caldwell died in Bloomington in August at the age of 92 after spending 50 years teaching at Indiana University.

He is credited with being the principal author of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969.

Phase One of Campaign for Harmony Successful

“Congratulations on fulfilling the matching requirements to help establish Harmony Education Center as a permanent national institution.” Dianne Daniels, Program Director, Bay and Paul Foundations

On May 18, 2004, the Harmony Education Center (HEC) announced an ambitious campaign to raise $6.5 million.

The Campaign for Harmony began with a lead gift of $2.5 million from the Bay and Paul Foundations. This partnership stipulated that HEC would generate $5 million in additional matching gifts.

We are pleased to announce that we have passed this milestone.

The vision of the Campaign for Harmony is to establish Harmony Education Center as a permanent national institution, leading the transformation of K - 12 schools into democratic, collaborative learning communities. The priorities of the campaign have been facilities, scholarships, faculty retention, leadership, and the creation of an endowment.

Now, HEC has convened a steering committee of local volunteers to complete the renovation of properties, to establish an endowment to maintain our facilities, and to ensure that our programs continue to be affordable with the highest quality staff.
