Architect for new arts building
Perhaps the most architecturally-interesting news is the announcement that the school is selecting an architect for a new arts building, presumably in the vicinity of the Hood and Clement.
The College has given the go-ahead to begin building the Kemeny Center for the math department as well as an adjoining building for a group of academic institutes, according to President Wright. Construction on the NoMa dormitories and dining hall will begin by the fall of 2004. The addition to Sudikoff also will get underway.
South Block project
The South Block redevelopment project is accellerating; the school’s Real Estate site plans more information.
Plenty of projects are in the works, all summarized in the most recent master plan (June 2002): highlights include the design work pending for a modular addition to Sudikoff and the evaluation of sites behind Fayerweather Row for a Commons House.
Life Sciences going ahead
Among the projects slowed but not halted by the downturn is the Life Sciences building at the north end of campus on College Street: “As currently conceived, the structure would provide a new anchor to the northern entrance to campus as well as a key building for the medical school,” writes Provost Scherr in his letter to the Planning Board.

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.
New house for Phi Tau
The school is building a new house for Phi Tau in front of its old one, The Dartmouth reports. The old building, designed by D.W. Redfield for Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity and built in 1927-1928, will be demolished.
Construction items in strategic plan
The school’s new strategic plan includes several building projects, The Dartmouth reports. Among them are a parking garage by Cummings (Summer 2003), the Maynard Street Dorm, and a dining hall nearby to seat 500-600.

Planning ideas
Reid Coggins ’04, student representative to a campus planning committee, notes several new ideas in discussion:
- Tentative plans to demolish Hinman (the River Cluster dormitory) and build a new Tuck School building in its place
- Longer-term plans to alter or even demolish the Choates
- Plans to add to Sudikoff to provide more space for Computer Science
- Plans by the Church of Christ for renovations that may improve the Berry-Maynard vista.
Buzz Yudell to speak

- Life Sciences building (a “shared facility” that “bridges the Arts and Sciences and the Medical School”)
- Classroom renovations, ongoing
- Renovations to Alumni Gymnasium and Thayer Dining Hall
- Heating Plant capacity expansion
