Section [pdf] and west elevation [pdf] drawings of the Varsity House proposed by Centerbrook (June 10, 2005) are on line.

The three-level building is inspired more by the grandstand’s 1950s press box than the brick west façade of Memorial Field; the return to Modernism takes the building closer in form and finish to Berry Gym than to Davis Field House.   The building’s green metal (?) panels will make it the first substantial building at Dartmouth that is green in color.   The focal point of the building’s long field facade is a row of windows marked by a raised parapet with the name DARTMOUTH on it, a response to the press box.

The new east stand in front of the building will be less than half as deep as the current east stand, though it will be longer and obscure part of the facade of Leverone.   The new building and stand together will be shallower than the current stand, effectively enlarging Red Rolfe Field.
