Elm Walk

The school may have made this official earlier, but it has started using the phrase “the Elm Walk” to describe the new collegiate open space between Berry and Maynard Street.  

While still a proposed design, this space was referred to by some as a “second Green” (compare a sketch of the big VSBA proposal to other spaces on campus).   Beginning with the construction of Moore Hall, the school seems to have emphasized the nature of the space as an armature or route rather than as an enclosed volume per se.

One wonders whether the school could drum up donations to give this walk a memorial function like that of Tuck Mall at Dartmouth or McCosh Walk at Princeton.
