The Inn has published floor plans (pdf) for the Minary Conference Center within the building. Bill Rooney Studio has posted interior designs, Cambridge Seven also has a new project page with a couple of photos of the completed work, and Here in Hanover¹The fall issue (pdf) also has articles on Shattuck Observatory; a book-shaped granite sundial sculpted by Dartmouth alumnus Bill Nutt and donated to Linacre College, Oxford, by retired DMS professor and Linacre graduate Frank Manasek, author of Study, Measure, Experiment; King Arthur Flour; builder Peter French; and the new Dartmouth ski history documentary Passion for Snow. has a well-illustrated²The computer shown in the photo on the second page is curious: although one can substitute colored components on a Mac laptop, the body is machined from a single billet of aluminum.

The smaller rooms have familiar names (Hayward, Drake, Ford Sayre), and the larger ones have the logical names Grand Ballroom, Ballroom East, and Ballroom West.

The Grand Ballroom, which occupies the old Zahm Courtyard space at the level of the lobby, measures 57 x 69 feet. This room is part of the third phase of the project and will open during November. One of the architects’ renderings of the new Hop entrance in the Zahm Courtyard, below the ballroom, showed the words “COLLEGE ENTRANCE” above the doors. It will be interesting to see whether the building ends up saying “HOPKINS CENTER” or perhaps nothing at all.
