Nearly two thousand people donated a total of $10.7 million to win a $1 million challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation toward the construction of Kemeny/Haldeman, the school has announced.
For $5 million, you may still name the building’s tower, depicted at right in a rendering of the building. A special floor plan (1.5mb pdf) designates some of the building’s other nameable features.
Photos from the Math Department depict the construction of the foundation and basement of Kemeny/Haldeman.
The Review has posted its latest issue, which includes a list of projects underway, some stats for the north campus, and a thoughtful article on the new construction by Joseph Rago, who quotes Dean Redman on the planning of the new dorms north of Maynard: “We learned from our mistakes in East Wheelock[.]”
Remember, you heard about the “mini-mansard” here first! (Actually, mini-mansard is probably not the right word, since the roof does not slope at the gable ends: perhaps it is a cryptogambrel?)
A variety of views and plans of Kemeny Haldeman have appeared on line, including a plan of the building that indicates that it will have two mirror-image entrances on Main Street that bear different names. One obviously is Kemeny, the other Haldeman.
The brick polychromy in the building’s walls might be interpreted to represent computer codes, but I read it as more of a Dutch influence; the firm uses brick patterns in the McLaughlin cluster too.
The Math Department has a detailed photo album depicting the project that includes February view of the future basement, viewed toward the Shower Towers and away from them (that used to be Bradley Court, which never seemed that great).
The Facilities Planning Office has posted a generous number of plans, elevations and perspectives of the McLaughlin dormitories. In plan, at least, the composition looks quite a bit like an Oxford-style quadrangle, and each of the four interior angles is even made a bit different from its neighbors. The axial landscaping and the emphasis on the central building in each trio, however, will probably make these dormitories evoke Ripley, Woodward and Smith Halls at Dartmouth more than any quad.
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.

North Campus updated.
Atkin Olshin Lawson-Bell, designers of the Collis Center addition and McCulloch Hall, have posted photo of a model of the future Tuck Mall Dormitory. The building will stand atop the short street that connects Webster Avenue to Tuck Drive and will include a faculty apartment.
The Sudikoff addition, designed by Fleck & Lewis Architects of Hanover and built by Engelberth Construction, is in progress and at this point looks rather more like a New England clapboard than the building to which it is attached.
More descriptive renderings of the future Kemeny/Haldeman buildings designed by Moore Ruble Yudell have been posted to the Kemeny site. The Main Street side of the building adopts a shallow C-shaped plan, as does the existing Silsby/Rockefeller across the street, while the scale of the buildings is more like that of the adjacent houses.
The school will break ground this month, The Dartmouth reports, for the new McLaughlin Dormitory Cluster north of Maynard Street, designed by Moore Ruble Yudell in association with Bruner/Cott. The Tuck Mall dorm will wait until 2006, The Dartmouthreports.
The Demolition of the Shower Towers and the construction of dorms on Tuck Mall and Maynard are new priorities, according to an article in The Dartmouth.
The Trustees have named the near-future dormitories north of Maynard the David T. McLaughlin Cluster for the late President McLaughlin, who died August 25, according to a news release.

Update added to North Campus Master Plan.
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.
Construction of the addition to Sudikoff should be completed by the fall, The Dartmouth reports.
Dartmouth has a new website for Kemeny Hall that includes an elevated drawing of the south facade of the building — as well as the adjoining Academic Centers building.
The Dartmouth reports zoning approval for the new dorm north of Maynard Street.
