“John Hazen White House not only honors John’s dedication to Williston Northampton School,” said Head of School Robert W. Hill III, “it creates on campus an environment that serves Williston students – and will continue to serve them for generations.”
The John Hazen White House was completed at the end of the summer.
Billed as state-of-the-art, the structure has geothermal wells for heating and cooling, and solar panels on the roof to heat water. Forty ninth- and 10th-grade boys have moved in – the residence hall also has faculty housing for four families.
Taco, which manufactures high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, is a third-generation family business, which turns 100 in 2020.
It also has a location in Fall River, as well as facilities around the globe.
