Tuck School
The great day has arrived—construction has started on the new Murdough Center to be located between Tuck and Thayer at the west end of Tuck Mall. So far, only excavation and removal of trees (the latter caused quite a few tugs at the heart) have taken place, but progress should be rapid when this phase has been completed. This building means so much to the future of Tuck that everyone is excited by the start. We shall keep you posted on construction as the months move along. Now on to news.
