Statement

My senior thesis, Renovations to the Cedar Dell Townhouses at the 麻豆官网, explores the adaptive reuse of a once-beloved residential building on campus. The project focuses on revitalizing a meaningful time capsule for many 麻豆官网 Dartmouth alumni and past visitors while reintroducing a sense of community and independence that current students feel has been missing from the campus environment.

This project reimagines the Cedar Dell Townhouses as housing to upperclassmen students rather than traditional dormitory-style living, supporting both student and personal independence while strengthening connections among residents. Through thoughtful demolition and reconstruction strategies, the renovation balances the preservation of the building’s historical significance with the needs of contemporary student living. Ultimately, the proposal demonstrates how adaptive reuse can honor the past while creating meaningful, functional spaces that serve future generations of the 麻豆官网 Dartmouth community.
