Dartmouth College Embarks on $500M Housing Plan

Dartmouth College has launched a $500-million program to invest in new and renewed undergraduate housing, representing the Ivy League school’s largest campus housing investment in a generation. College president Sian Leah Beilock has pledged to add a combined 1,000 beds for students, faculty and staff over the next 10 years. 

The Hanover, NH college has received the largest gift for undergraduate housing in its history, $30 million from alumni Thomas A. Russo ’77 and Gina T. Russo ’77. The apartment-style residence hall for juniors and seniors being built at 25 W. Wheelock St. will be named Russo Hall in their honor. 

Russo Hall is the first of several planned apartment-style residence halls on West Wheelock Street, near the central campus and the West End campus district. The Russo’ contribution launches a $165-million fundraising campaign to help fund the construction of Dartmouth’s first new undergraduate residences in more than 20 years.
