The Neukom Institute was rumored last year to be considering a request for an addition to Sudikoff.

Ledyard Canoe Club plans to rebuild Titcomb Cabin, which burned last spring. The logs will be put in the river at the Organic Farm and rafted down to Gilman Island. This will be the closest thing to a log drive seen on this stretch of the Connecticut in many years.

David Hooke (Reaching That Peak, 1987) gave a “smoke talk” in Commons on the Outing Club’s history. The Dartmouth reports that “smoke talk” refers to the club’s journal Woodsmoke, but it might also refer to the informal lectures of that name that took place in College Hall at the turn of the century.

The Wall Street Journal has an article on Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates that, although not mentioning it, helps explain their Berry Library project.

The Dartmouth is doing a weekly articles on Dartmouth out-of-town, starting with the riding center at Morton Farm.

Dartmouth is offering for rent the second level of the 1910s library stacks addition to Eleazar Wheelock’s house. This could make a good society hall:

Rear ell, 4 West Wheelock Street, Hanover

Some images of the recent addition to Sudikoff, designed by Fleck & Lewis:

Atkin Olshin Lawson-Bell, designers of the Collis Center addition and McCulloch Hall, have posted photo of a model of the future Tuck Mall Dormitory. The building will stand atop the short street that connects Webster Avenue to Tuck Drive and will include a faculty apartment.

The Sudikoff addition, designed by Fleck & Lewis Architects of Hanover and built by Engelberth Construction, is in progress and at this point looks rather more like a New England clapboard than the building to which it is attached.

Construction of the addition to Sudikoff should be completed by the fall, The Dartmouth reports.

The addition to Sudikoff has gotten underway.

Perhaps the most architecturally-interesting news is the announcement that the school is selecting an architect for a new arts building, presumably in the vicinity of the Hood and Clement.

The College has given the go-ahead to begin building the Kemeny Center for the math department as well as an adjoining building for a group of academic institutes, according to President Wright.   Construction on the NoMa dormitories and dining hall will begin by the fall of 2004.   The addition to Sudikoff also will get underway.

The South Block redevelopment project is accellerating; the school’s Real Estate site plans more information.

Plenty of projects are in the works, all summarized in the most recent master plan (June 2002): highlights include the design work pending for a modular addition to Sudikoff and the evaluation of sites behind Fayerweather Row for a Commons House.

Reid Coggins ’04, student representative to a campus planning committee, notes several new ideas in discussion:

• Tentative plans to demolish Hinman (the River Cluster dormitory) and build a new Tuck School building in its place
• Longer-term plans to alter or even demolish the Choates
• Plans to add to Sudikoff to provide more space for Computer Science
• Plans by the Church of Christ for renovations that may improve the Berry-Maynard vista.
