They may be situated farther from central campus than their peers, but students to be housed in Yale’s two new residential colleges won’t find themselves calling the minibus to grapple with a common cold — or, for that matter, the aftereffects of a late-night romp. On Monday, top University and city officials broke ground on the 138,000-square-foot, or 3.2-acre...
Less than a month after it officially embarked upon the addition of two new residential colleges, the University is close to choosing an architect for what will be Yale’s most prized commission in decades. The selection will be announced within a month or so, University President Richard Levin said Sunday. The Yale Corporation, the University’s highest governing...
Close to a decade ago, Yale University set out on a mission: to acquire a few two-story houses tucked near the corner of Prospect and Canal streets. University administrators did not want the houses. They wanted the land on which the houses stood, because they forecasted erecting two new residential colleges there at some point in the future. And this year, that...
The Yale Corporation this weekend authorized the addition of two new residential colleges, officially setting into motion the University's largest expansion since co-education four decades ago. Yale College will grow by about 15 percent as part of the expansion, which University President Richard Levin announced in an e-mail message to the community on Saturday morning...
In a vote that has become little more than a formality, the Yale Corporation this weekend is expected to approve the addition of two new residential colleges. The vote will cap a whirlwind year that saw many students come out against expansion at open forums in the fall semester, only to have University President Richard Levin declare his support for it in February and...
The summer firearms of David Light … the autumn escapades of Casper Desfeux … the spring press releases of Aliza Shvarts. When it came to news, Yale’s 2007-2008 school year, no doubt, saw more than its fair share of scandal. But in the muck of reading week and finals, it may be too easy to think back on 2007-2008 and only recall such moments of tomfoolery or...
If Yale goes ahead with the proposed addition of two new residential colleges, the increase in the size of the student body and the physical isolation of the new colleges could prompt a larger percentage of students to study abroad during the academic year. With more slots in each class available for international students and increased opportunities for student...
In 1972, Yale announced a plan for expansion. The blueprints had been drawn. Funding was in place. The location had been determined. But on the eve of construction, New Haven officials blocked the addition of Yale residential colleges 13 and 14. A decade after the erection of Ezra Stiles and Morse colleges, Yale was once again feeling the strain of a quickly expanding...
Many of Yale’s science departments could witness a rise in the number of majors and increased course offerings for non-majors if the University goes ahead with a proposal for the addition of two new residential colleges. But for some departments these benefits would likely come at the expense of faculty shortages and a strain on lab spaces unless the University...
Students may not have noticed it, but Yale’s campus grew by a third on Tuesday morning. This week, the University finalized its purchase of the 137-acre Bayer HealthCare campus for $109 million. Although the deal was first announced in June, Bayer and Yale officials have been conducting due diligence and hammering out details until now, administrators said. Yale paid...
With regard to construction around campus, the University is playing a “large game of dominos,” according to School of Architecture Dean Robert Stern. As new facilities open up, programs are rotated around campus to allow for other buildings to be renovated or demolished. The new Sculpture Building and Garage, which opened this semester on Edgewood Avenue, one block...
Famed architect Lord Norman Foster ARC ’62 has been selected to design the Yale School of Management’s new campus on Whitney Avenue, Yale President Richard Levin confirmed Monday night. Foster — who also designed the Hearst Tower in New York City, the Beijing Capital International Airport, and the Millennium Bridge in London — is famous for his sophisticated...
