As the original building, Dartmouth Hall stands sentinel to the evolution of the institution. It suffered two fires and major reconstructions and recently underwent its largest renovation. It holds faculty offices for language departments, classrooms and the new home of the Center for Humanities. While the exterior was faithfully restored, the interior saw a total transformation that’s fresh yet recognizably Dartmouth Hall. A new front terrace, elevator, and open stairs make the building accessible and equitable as never before.
Galleries were introduced to highlight the histories of Dartmouth Hall and Dartmouth Women. Heritage is traced from Occom to today’s students, featuring milestones such as the literal rebuilding of the Hall and the figurative rebuilding of the traditionally all-male institution as it welcomed women. The exhibits include other less celebrated historical narratives and reveal some hard truths.
