Rivercrest master plan
Architecture Incorporated of Boulder, Colo. designed the master plan and community center for Kendal at Hanover, the 250-unit continuing-care retirement community north of town just past CRREL and Rivercrest [Terraserver aerial]. Perkins Eastman Architects PC of NY designed some or all of the Kendal’s housing; the site includes an 1801 farmhouse that was renovated in 1998 to serve as a guesthouse.
Architect of the graduate student housing
The designer of the graduate student houses now standing on the west side of North Park Street is the firm of William Rawn Associates Architects, Inc. of Boston, designer of many houses on Grasse Road for Dartmouth as well as buildings in the South Block. (Kessel-Duff notes.) The graduate student houses replace the pair of 1957 faculty apartment buildings by E.H. & M.K. Hunter (Edgar Hayes Hunter, Jr., 1938, and Margaret King Hunter, designers of the Shower Towers).
Wheelock and Park housing info

19 East Wheelock renovation
Dartmouth is renovating a Jens-Larson-designed faculty apartment building (Ledyard) at 19 East Wheelock Street into a dormitory.
Adjacent the dormitory at 17 East Wheelock stands Parkside, still a faculty apartment and an early work of the notable architect Howard Major. Major worked with Charles Rich to design the building during 1912 while Major was a draftsman in Rich’s firm. Major later wrote on architectural history, including The Domestic Architecture of the Early American Republic: The Greek Revival (1926), and became an architect to society, especially in a large number of Classical and Caribbean designs in Palm Beach, Florida.
[Update 07.25.2005. Post originally stated that 17 East Wheelock was being renovated.]

Charles Tseckares and Christopher Hill, “When Gown Builds Town: Schools That Do Good Business,” College Planning and Management (November 2003), mention the College-Town building recently built at 7 Lebanon Street to designs by CBT/Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc., the architectural firm in which the authors are partners. Donald Maurice Kreis also writes about the building in “A Dignified “Background Building” for Hanover.”

Rugby Clubhouse images
Images of the nearly-completed clubhouse at Garipay Field on Reservoir Road are on line. The building, designed by Randall T. Mudge and Associates Architects of Lyme, was begun during July, 2004 and will be dedicated September 23-24, 2005. The building is flanked by two fields: Brophy Field and Battle Field.
Varsity House
A press release has more on the Varsity House, soccer field, gym, and other projects.
New street names
The school has renamed at least one street and has given several others official names for the first time recently, part of the national “rural addressing” movement made necessary by states’ enhanced 9-1-1 emergency dispatching. (The school’s E-911 page was updated July 2004.) People across the country are getting the chance to give their driveways official names now that every building must have a unique street address; Madison, N.H., for example, lets residents of every street with three buildings on it propose a new name. A few examples from the latest school map (2.2mb pdf):
| New Name | Previous | Location |
| Cemetery Lane* | Sanborn Lane | To the Cemetery, leaving North Main between Collis and Robinson |
| Fayerweather Hill Road | On the Terrace, leaving College Street south of Steele | |
| Observatory Road | Into College Park, leaving East Wheelock opposite Crosby Street | |
| Ivy Lane | From Observatory Road to North Park Street | |
| Vox Lane | Off Crosby Street south of Topliff | |
| Boathouse Road | To the Boathouse, leaving Tuck Drive | |
| Tuck Mall | To the River Cluster, leaving Thayer Drive and Tuck Mall | |
| Dewey Field Road | On former Dewey Farm, leaving Maynard and joining College Street opposite North Park Street | |
| *This street was known historically as Cemetery Lane. The name change presumably gives precedence to Sanborn Road, off Lebanon Street. | ||
