A ‘Whale’ of a renovation in store for Ingalls Rink
Soon after the late Eero Saarinen ARCH ’34 took the commission to design a new hockey rink for Yale in 1956, he sent an associate, David Powrie, on a trip.
In a telephone interview last week, Powrie recalled his whirlwind journey across the northeast almost as a reconnaissance mission. He remembers cataloging the details of an assortment of New England’s many rinks — from seating capacity to sight lines, from ice-cooling systems to locker sizes.

Are they going to save the " Kilroy was here " graffiti too ?
SOM campus to reflect philosophy of group learning
Not notice any changes on the outside? Sorry, but I noticed how many trees were removed along Prospect St so the temporary construction "headquarters" could be placed on the grass rather than take up an area of the car park. Will new trees be planted when it's all over? Shame on you Yale.
