“allow for mixed styles of teaching and learning, nurturing collaborative and individual work”
• Serve as a model for sustainable campus design and construc- tion. Plans are underway to achieve LEED Gold certifica- tion, and the College continues to pursue LEED Platinum.
Demolition of Thomas-Garrett Hall is currently slated for summer 2011 and construction will begin immediately there- after. It is estimated that the new teaching and learning build- ing will open its doors at the start of academic year 2013–2014.
At the direction of new Vice President for Advancement Dan
Macaluso (see page 8), the College is moving forward with early fundraising for the new building, which will lay the ground- work for a more public effort as a part of the College’s antici- pated comprehensive campaign.

Boora Architects’ design will achieve important goals that were developed in an open and collaborative planning process inclusive of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the greater community. The design goals for the teaching and learning building are: • Serve as the new focal point of campus, the primary gateway through which to welcome prospective students and their fam- ilies, alumni and the community at large.
• Showcase what HMC does best—provide the best, most inno- vative undergraduate STEM teaching in the nation, grounded in the humanities, social sciences and the arts. The creativity of the HMC community will be showcased with adaptable gal- lery space, state-of-the-art digital media and electronic music studios, a Writing Center and venues for theatrical, musical and dance performances.
• Encourage student and faculty interaction, a hallmark of the HMC experience, with faculty office clusters, a café and stu- dent “living room.”
• Connect and unite the HMC community, serving as a bridge between the academic and residential sides of campus—a vibrant gathering place and crossroads for interdisciplinary learning.
• Help HMC to attract and retain the best faculty and students from throughout the nation and the world. In order to com- pete for the best prospective students and faculty, the College’s aging facilities, which pale in comparison to peer institutions, must be updated.
Warts
The new building evokes the fundamental principles of the ex- isting architecture of campus, while interpreting them in a way more connected to the interior function of the building. Planning is underway to ensure that Thomas-Garrett Hall’s “warts” are preserved during demolition to be creatively displayed in the new building. (Student design contest details forthcoming!)
