Building Program

The College announces that the building program which has been in full force for two years will continue throughout the summer. The principal construction of the year will be the new Tuck School group, for which the ground is now being broken and foundations laid. There will be a unit of four buildings, including a large central recitation hall, two flanking dormitories, and a refectory. This new Tuck group will be located on Hitchcock Field, west of Hitchcock Hall.

The interior finishing of Streeter and John K. Lord Halls will be completed during the summer so that these two newest dormitories will be ready for occupancy in September. South Hall and Sanborn, two of the oldest dormitories now in operation by the College, will not be used. There are no plans at present for disposing of these buildings. Carpenter Hall, the new home of the Art Department, is completed and was opened for inspection during Commencement. Previous to the opening of college in the fall, the building will be completely equipped, and will be ready for the use of the Department. All classes in art will be held there and the faculty members of the Department will have offices in the building. There are also facilities for exhibitions there. Sanborn English House will be partially ready for occupancy in September. There is so much detail in the interior finish of this building that it will not be possible to have it ready for complete use in the fall.

In accordance with a previous announcement, Wheeler Hall will be completely renovated in the summer and will be thoroughly remodeled, bringing the dormitory up-to-date. The renovation there will be similar to that made in Massachusetts Hall last summer.

Following the annual Commencement meeting of the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees, President Ernest M. Hopkins announced that plans have been drawn and construction will begin shortly on a large new dormitory, to be the latest development in Dartmouth's expanding plant. The addition of the new dormitory to this program of expansion will make the next college year the busiest one in Dartmouth's building history.

The new Dartmouth dormitory, which is now known as the East Dormitory while remaining unnamed, will be one of the largest on the campus. It will house 175 stu dents and a feature of the building will be that the majority of the rooms will be very reasonably priced. There will be four floors of rooms, of which only about twenty-five or thirty will fall into the more expensive room class. Plans call for the building to be located on the plain just south of the Bema, east of Fayerweather row, and north of the Sphinx and the Alpha Delta Phi houses. The alumni gymnasium is just across East Wheelock Street from the site of the new dormitory and will be easily accessible to the large number of students who will be housed in the new building.
