Hanover, NH – PROCON announced it has begun construction on a new apartment-style residential hall at Dartmouth College.
The residential hall will be for juniors and seniors and is located on an approximately one-acre site at 25 West Wheelock Street. The 5-story structure will provide 285 beds in a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. Each unit will feature a full kitchen, living room, and storage space. Designed by Cube 3, this project marks a significant step in Dartmouth’s commitment to expanding housing capacity as part of President Sian Leah Beilock’s pledge to add 1,000 new beds over the next decade.
Groundbreaking ceremony
“We are excited to get to work on this residential hall,” said Josh Keniston, senior vice president of capital planning and campus operations at Dartmouth. “This project is an important step in addressing the critical need for more housing on campus and in the Upper Valley.”
The building is designed with a strong emphasis on health, wellness, and sustainability, aligning with the priorities outlined by Beilock. The building will target LEED Gold certification and utilize high-performance materials designed to meet energy conservation goals. The facility is also planned to be net carbon-neutral, relying heavily on sustainable energy sources and being largely independent of fossil fuels.
“We are proud to partner with Dartmouth on this significant project,” said John Stebbins, CEO of PROCON. “Our team is dedicated to delivering a facility that not only meets Dartmouth’s housing goals but also reflects their commitment to sustainability and student well-being. We look forward to bringing this innovative space to life.”
A groundbreaking ceremony was held in August 2024, and the anticipated completion date for the residential hall is set for summer 2026. The project represents Dartmouth’s broader efforts to meet its students’ housing needs and is part of a larger strategy to provide additional housing for graduate and professional students, as well as faculty and staff.
