Tuck LLC architects
Goody Clancy of Boston, designers of several business school buildings including Whittemore Hall, are designing the Tuck School’s new Living and Learning Complex (Vox) to occupy the site of Hinman Hall, in the River Cluster (site plan pdf).

McNutt retains remnants of its former identity
Some interesting details from the west side of the Green–
Even though the escutcheon (not visible in this photo) at the top of the facade has an “M” for McNutt, the center of the balcony railing retains the “TH” for “Tuck Hall”:
Timothy J. McAuliffe, who had two sons attend the college, sculpted the lions and probably other details on the entrance portal of Robinson Hall:
The entrance vestibule of Parkhurst Hall has a tiled, domed ceiling that may use the popular Guastavino tile system often found in subway stations:
Baker Tower, graffiti
A recent visit to the tower of Baker Library permitted views of the interior of the tower and, amid many other graffiti, a graffito from a member of Sphinx (general story in The Dartmouth). The writing above the arches is illegible (“YLIJV?”), but the “M.K.K.” below presumably stands for “Mystical[al] Krewe of K____” (not Komus, surely?).
Tuck Drive blocked
This is Tuck Drive looking north to the construction site of the two linked Tuck Mall Dorms. The dormitories will block the short leg of the Drive that headed left to join Webster Avenue, lately called “Old Tuck Drive” (though it is, if anything, younger than the main portion of Tuck Drive, which is the portion that connects with Main Street along what is now Tuck Mall. That portion of the Drive will be reopened).
