The Process
Interviewing & Designing
After conducting several interviews and creating an extensive list of Dartmouth students' wants and needs for a housing community, we realized that the current housing system is a solution to a problem that students do not have.
Current Housing System
Proposed Housing System
The new and improved housing system fosters stronger community by creating shared experiences for both first-years and upperclassmen. First-years are welcomed with a vibrant kickoff that includes new dorm arrangements, live music, group study spaces, and late-night Domino’s in common rooms. Upperclassmen can enjoy opportunities to reconnect through sponsored meals at local favorites like Sawtooth and Dunks, along with casual happy hours with former floor mates.
