Construction on Campus

About the Project

As part of President Sian Leah Beilock's commitment to add 1,000 beds for faculty, staff, and students in the next 10 years, Dartmouth is financing a $15.2 million housing development south of campus in West Lebanon, N.H., for Dartmouth employees. The 21-unit development will feature 14 two-story, three-bedroom homes; three duplexes with a total of five three-bedroom units and one two-bedroom unit; and one single-story, three-bedroom home designed for accessibility. The project is located off Route 10 on five acres off of Oak Ridge Road, and all units will include a single-car garage.
