Old houses moving
The Professors Lord House and the President Lord House have been moved from North College Street to sites farther up Lyme Road to make way for a graduate-student housing complex on the west side of North College.
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.
North Fairbanks demolition contemplated
Provost Scherr, quoted in an article in The Dartmouth, notes that the school expects to demolish North Fairbanks Hall eventually. The building was designed by Jens Frederick Larson in 1925 as a preparatory school gymnasium opposite Webster Avenue and was moved to its current site in 1963.
Construction on hold
President Wright’s budget letter: “We will place a hold on all construction and renovation projects not currently underway or otherwise obligated by contract or other instruments.”

Construction items in strategic plan

Faculty housing on South Park
To little fanfare online, a frame housing complex opposite the gym at the southeast corner of Wheelock and Park has opened. The ensemble is arrayed around a central parking area/commons and features an arched corner gateway building.
[Update 05.16.2005: This post originally attributed the complex to Dartmouth, though current maps imply that the school does not own it.]
[Update 01.22.2011: The project is one of Dartmouth’s.]
Brudage Lodge demolished
After the old one was demolished, the new lodge is open at the Skiway, the Skiway site announces.
