Tuck LLC donors hinted at

The Tuck School is building a Living and Learning Complex west of Whittemore Hall. The H-shaped building comprises eastern and western residential wings joined by a full-height connector.

A front elevation that has been available for some time indicates that the western wing will be named Achtmeyer and the connector will be named Raether. In the image, the eastern wing is still named “Donor.”

Possible namesakes: William F. Achtmeyer is the Chairman of the Board of Overseers of the Tuck School and created the William F. Achtmeyer Center for Global Leadership in 2000. Paul E. Raether is a member of the Board of Overseers and has given the Paul Raether Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence.

Tuck Mall reworking

A blog by Bats provides an early photo of Tuck Mall showing the new landscape work. Unusually, the photo is taken from the roof of Murdough instead of from Baker Tower.

Dartmouth Hall’s shutters

Some time ago a photo of Dartmouth Hall without shutters was posted here; it turns out that the school was putting up shutters made of composite materials produced by Atlantic Shutters. Atlantic mentions also redoing the shutters for Alpha Delta and three other houses.

[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.
