Ventilator Helps Yield Dividends for Business School Addition
The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH) was founded in 1900 as the first school of business management. Given this long-standing tradition of studying economics and business administration, it's no surprise that the design of its newest graduate student residence employs a state-of-the-art hvac system producing a healthy, comfortable living environment while delivering an annual return on investment that will eventually pay for itself.
Whittemore Hall is the focal point for residential and community life for both full-time M.B.A. students and executive program participants. The four-story, 45,000-sq-ft building consists of 60 private rooms; each with its own bath; 10 group study rooms; three conference rooms; and a distance learning suite (for tele- and video-conferences) all organized around a central, common living room to foster a sense of community and teamwork.
