Dartmouth's House Communities Approach a Milestone
As the residential system nears its 10-year anniversary, more faculty, staff, and students across campus take part.
Russo Hall Project
In her inaugural address, President Sian Beilock pledged to add a total of 1,000 new beds for students, faculty, and staff over the next decade. The first project in this vision is underway at 25 West Wheelock St., an approximately one-acre parcel on the north side of the street. Once complete, this five-story structure—to be called Russo Hall—will house apartment-style units for juniors and seniors on the West End of campus. The units will add 285 beds and include a mix of two-, three-, and four-bed apartments, each with a full kitchen, living room, and storage space.
Fayerweather Hall Renewal
The Fayerweather Hall renovation is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance the student residential experience and increase the available bed count—all goals in alignment with Dartmouth's Housing Renewal strategy.
House Communities to Offer More Options for Students
As Dartmouth creates more undergraduate housing in the coming years, the house community system will give students more options about where they might live in their junior and senior years.
House Communities
All students are members of one of our six House Communities.
