The
Quad: Spruce, Woodland and Ware
Next
fall, the completed Quad will boast three Houses, each with its
own courtyard, lobby, mailroom, exercise room, library, seminar
rooms, computer labs and refurbished student rooms. "The Quad's
system of courtyards naturally supports a division of three--the
architects and the planning committee of students, faculty and staff
saw that right away when they looked closely at the Quad,"
noted Dr. David Brownlee, director of the College Houses.
The
present four Houses in the Quadrangle--Community, Goldberg,
Spruce and Ware--will be replaced beginning in the fall 2002
by three newly-defined Houses, identified by their own color schemes
for interior decoration, furnishings and distinctive signage. The
easternmost House, encircling the two small courtyards that many
call the Baby Quad and the Clock Court, will be called Spruce College
House, echoing the name of the adjacent street.
This
"city street approach" to naming is repeated in the new
westernmost House that embraces the Upper Quad; it will be called
Woodland College House in recognition of the adjacent Woodland Walk.
The central House in the new configuration, with buildings on three
sides of the Lower Quad, will be called Ware College House. College
House staff conferred with the student-run Residential Advisory
Board who supported the naming plan.
Dr.
Brownlee has confirmed that the Faculty Masters of the three new
Houses will be Dr. Arnold Rosoff, Dr. Mark Liberman, and Dr. Linda
Brown, whose current terms of appointment as the Faculty Masters
of Goldberg, Ware and Community will be transferred to the new Woodland,
Ware, and Spruce College Houses. This, he emphasizes, will reinforce
the continuity of programs and staffing.
"Moving
to the name Woodland College House will connect the physical structure
with its historic geographic environment," noted Goldberg Faculty
Master Dr. Arnold Rosoff. He went on to explain that the new House
would "maintain a vigorous program in Media and Communications,
one of Goldberg College House's major themes."
Dr.
Linda Brown, Community Faculty Master, pledges to work with Faculty
Master Dr. Helen Davies, who has already announced her intention
to step down after her term as the Faculty Master of the present
Spruce College House expires at the end of the year.
