Parkside plans released

The plans for the Parkside renovation and addition have been released. It looks like the rear wall is being bumped out under a new gable (see rear facade) and a row of dormers is being added to the front and sides. The chimneys will be lost, which is unfortunate. Here is the building a few years ago:

Campus preservation and expansion

A couple of articles (one in pdf) explain how Barnard College used one of the Getty Foundation’s grants to create a plan for the preservation of Charles Rich’s historic campus. It turns out that Getty has shut down its campus heritage grant program, as the Chronicle’s campus blog laments; there was even a story in the Wall Street Journal on the program shutting down after funding plans at 86 institutions.

The physical campus section of President Wright’s ten-year report mentions all the work done at Dartmouth over the last decade.

Book information   |   Errata (pdf)

Dartmouth College 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.
