The Tuck School’s website now has a rendering of the Living-Learning Complex designed by Goody Clancy to occupy the site of Hinman Hall, the River Cluster dormitory.

The building’s style appears to be a departure from that of the adjacent Whittemore Hall, also designed by Good Clancy; it will feature a small courtyard enclosed on two sides by colonnades, a new architectural form for the Tuck School.

The Darmtouth passes along the information from Dean Redman that the school plans to tear down and replace each of the Choates, one building at a time. The school’s current interest in replacing the buildings, a departure from its mid-1990s plans to add to them, is no secret; the specifics of the method of destruction seem new.

Other information:

  • Not only new students but all students will be housed by class.
  • The two River Cluster dorms that will remain standing after the Tuck School’s expansion will be renovated as apartments.
  • Hitchcock Hall will be renovated.
  • Richardson Hall might be renovated as the new International House.
  • The Lodge and North Hall might be closed during the fall of 2006.
  • Dartmouth will demolish Brewster for the Hood Museum of Art expansion, as predicted by some of the Rogers Marvel master plans.
