Article on construction

This month’s Dartmouth Life has an overview of the nine largest projects underway, with images of several of them.   Two that have received little press lately but seem to get the go-ahead here are the Visual Arts Center on Lebanon Street (Machado and Silvetti) and the Tuck School dormitory/classroom complex that sounds bigger than when first announced:

The facility will consist of three connected buildings: the east and west residential buildings, and the central classroom and learning bulding.

That facility will be connected to the existing Tuck complex and designed by the firm that designed Tuck’s most recent addition of Whittemore Hall [more], Goody Clancy.

Construction budgeting

The Trustees have budgeted for a late-2004 construction project (Maynard Street dormitories) and construction during 2005 (Kemeny Hall/ Haldeman Center and Gym fitness center expansion).

The Trustees also have budgeted for the 2005 planning of the dining hall north of Maynard, a new dormitory on Tuck Mall, new biology buildings and the Hop expansion.

Planning in spite of slowdown

The Downturn has slowed construction, but according to an update from Provost Scherr, but the College still is pursuing projects including the Academic Centers north of Carson Hall on North Main; Kemeny Hall on North Main, which requires moving Phi Tau; an addition to Sudikoff Hall; an addition to the south of Cummings Hall atop the existing road; and an addition to the Child Care center.

Planning for north campus projects

Trustees are moving ahead on planning, The Dartmouth reports.:

  • Construction on the Maynard Street dormitory is set to begin in less than eight months.
  • Designs for Kemeny Hall have been presented, construction to begin fall 2003.
  • Bradley and Gerry will be demolished.
  • Phi Tau will be moved west (toward Main Street).
  • A new parking garage at the Thayer School was approved.
