Dartmouth CollegeHouse Centers

Project Overview

Engelberth Construction was hired by Dartmouth College to build two new temporary house centers for extended program space to accommodate Dartmouth’s transition to a new undergraduate housing community structure.

House Center “A” is a one-level 4,750 sf manufactured fabric membrane structure built over the site of a double tennis court.  The robust building contains a small meeting room, three small study lounge cubbies and a flex space that can accommodate a small formal event or act as a general hangout area for students.  Outside features a large deck and lawn space.

House Center “B” takes on a much different appearance.  This building is a 2-story, 6,900 sf steel and wood-frame building.  The first level is flexible in space with various styled seating and the capability to hold small formal gatherings.  A small snackbar-style store is a perk in this house center.  The second story has a larger flex space and multiple quaint private pods.  The exterior has a large deck and green space inviting students to gather as well.
