(It also refers to the auditorium as “Dartmouth 105” instead of “105 Dartmouth,” which seems to be the older, more common phrasing.)Ī couple of interior views also appear in a recent Dartmouth Alumni Magazine article. ![]() It shows site plans, floor plans, interior renderings, and several other views.

NHCAMA New Hampshire something or State College something? “Vox Lane” has always been arbitrary, which is disappointing in this richly historic precinct. Another one that really is a better name. North End Green in a strip of Dewey Fieldĭewey Field. This really is a better name.Īnother tough one there is very little historic context here. Some offhand proposals for these spaces: Name in PlanĪ tough one this was the Wigwam Circle postwar housing area.įayer Green? “Commons” is not really appropriate for an open space. ![]() The map on pages 28 and 29 showing named landscape opportunities is an important document. Quibbles are minor and basically the same as before: Thayer School didn’t go from the old Experiment Station directly to the West End in 1939, it spent several years in Bissell Gymnasium (page 9) the reference to “Dart Hall” is kind of irritating (page 38) and it’s “Bema” not BEMA (page 41). ![]() McKenzie might present a real opportunity to create a new building within the historic brick walls (pages 52-53).

When it comes to the West End, the novelty in this plan is the meander of the Cemetery Bridge (Thayer Viaduct). Lyme Road development is inevitable, but it is not clear how realistic it is to show such development without parking lots (pages 46-47). ![]() Remsen-Vail could be appropriately used for academic purposes, however (page 44). If you wanted to reuse a dull Sixties building as housing, you should have done it with the DHMC tower. Putting student housing in Remsen-Vail might be touchy. Fairchild Tower always did seem more than necessary for its purpose it is really a signpost building (pages 44-45). Old Hospital Quad will be an incredible space 130 years in the making (pages 42-43). The north end opportunity sites are all super. The plan is not getting enough press or enough praise, so here are some observations:Īs noted earlier, the possibilities for growth in the central campus look great (page 38).
