Choates demolition plan confirmed; other changes

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.
