Dartmo.: The Buildings of Dartmouth College

Building info | Views

The facilities plan, “Dartmouth and the Upper Valley:A Special College and a Special Place” is on line and describes several interesting projects apparently not yet settled on, most notably a A “Commons House” behind Dartmouth Row that will provide social spaces. Others include the renovation of Thayer Dining Hall for social and performance spaces; a Tuck residence hall adjacent Whittemore; 145 residential units in Grasse Road faculty/staff housing; 200 apartment units in Rivercrest, north of campus; and a parking garage south of Cummings for 750+ cars.

About Dartmo.

[RSS 2.0] This site presents one view of the architecture of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.A. The site began with some essays in May 1995 and incorporated the buildings catalog in 1996 and the Rich thesis in June, 1998. (The site was known as DArch initially and was renamed for an abbreviation of the word "Dartmouth.")

The campi of Columbia, Stanford and Amherst are the subjects of readily-available books, but no detailed architectural history of the country's fifth-oldest campus has been written. Dartmouth hosts the important collegiate grouping of Dartmouth Row and comprises some of the largest accumulations of the work of three American architects: Ammi Burnham Young, Charles Alonzo Rich and Jens Fredrick Larson. The campus currently is expanding in a fashion that is self-consciously traditional, which only enhances the need for information about its historic buildings.
