News notes on construction projects old and new:

• An anonymous donation has named the fitness center recently installed in the old gymnasium space at the top of Alumni Gym for former Trustee Charles Zimmerman ’23 Tu ’24 (The Dartmouth, Bloomberg).
• An article in the Valley News on Harris Trail at Hanover and the Class of 1966 Lodge.
• Health Facilities Management has named the DHMC complex an “icon” and the subject of one of its case studies. The SBRA announcement notes the hospital’s adoption of the shopping mall form.
• For an example of a remarkable and appropriate setting for a Beverly Pepper sculpture that shares some of the attributes of Thel, see the Weisslers’ amphitheater in New York (New York Times). See also the BLDGBLOG post on Buried Buildings.
• A building-related issue of The Mirror has some details on the Life Sciences Center.
• One hopes that the OPDC will get the chance to add a Class of 1953 Commons page to its list of projects.
• Another Titcomb Cabin update.
