"O people of the world! Build ye houses of worship throughout the lands in the name of Him Who is the Lord of all religions. Make them as perfect as is possible in the world of being…" 

— Bahá’u’lláh (The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 29)

‘Abdu’l-Bahá visited the Sarah Farmer Inn at the Green Acre Bahá’í School in Eliot, Maine during His sojourn in America and provided us with the vision of the school’s future significance:

 

In the future, God willing, Green Acre shall become a great center, the cause of the unity of the world of humanity, the cause of uniting hearts and binding together the East and the West. This is my hope.”

He also prophesied that the first Bahá’í university would be raised on its site, giving us a glimpse of the potential inherent in the permanent Bahá’í schools.

 

In April of 2001 work was initiated to rebuild Bahá’í Hall—renamed Manny Reimer Hall—and to begin construction on a beautiful new classroom building complex called Kelsey Center. These changes were completed in September of 2002. The new complex includes:

 

 

 

 

An audiovisual control room with the capacity of connecting the various classrooms and breakout rooms with Manny Reimer Hall (ideal for providing optional listening rooms for those who are unable to attend the main session, such as parents of nursery-aged children)

 

A convenient refreshment area

 

Seven large and comfortable carpeted classrooms including areas for arts and crafts activities

 

A fenced-in play area for younger children

 

Ample and conveniently located restroom facilities

 

Conveniently connecting hallways between Manny Reimer Hall and classrooms, so essential during the snowy winter months

 

Ample porch areas around the building, perfect spots for fellowship and intimate chats in the midst of Green Acre’s beautiful peaceful surroundings
