Construction

Those of you returning to Dartmouth for the Winter term will notice two new construction sites, one near the "Shower Towers" (Bradley and Gerry). These monstrosities of architecture are due to be replaced by the new Kemeny Math Building, to be located adjacent to the two towers. Ground was broken for the new building towards the end of Fall term, and at the moment, there are at least three pieces of machinery at work preparing the site.

Also, the parking lot at the corner of Maynard and College streets has been cordoned off, and construction has begun on the McLaughlin Residential Cluster. This will expand the number of beds for undergraduate students as well as a new dining hall; both much needed additions to Dartmouth's residential environment. But it looks like my senior year will be marked by construction just as my freshman year was. 05's and older will fondly remember the corridor through the Baker Stacks, with the Paradiso (new Berry) and the Inferno (old Baker) marking each end. Ah well, growing pains. Can't avoid them...
