Harvard College House renewal swing space

Renovating the Inn at Harvard for student swing space as College House renewal scales up

From The March-April 2014 Issue

The Inn at Harvard, shown in late January, is being converted into residential space to accommodate students during House renovation. Dunster is the first scheduled to be closed in toto, after Commencement, for complete renewal during the ensuing 15 months, following completion of pilot projects at Quincy and Leverett. Dunster’s diaspora will house students in existing swing spaces along Massachusetts Avenue; apartment buildings and a renovated frame house (former home of Expository Writing) on Prescott Street; and the repurposed Inn, a hub including common dining and social spaces for House affiliates during their temporary displacements. House renewal will be on the new College dean’s agenda; complete House renewal coverage is available at https://harvardmagazine.com/ tags/house-renewal.

Published in the March-April 2014 print issue under the headline “Hub of the (Undergraduate) Universe,” in the John Harvard's Journal section.
