On a site that faces the main thoroughfare of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Deborah Berke Partners designed this new residence hall at Dickinson College to present a formal front to the street and a more casual face to a lawn (and future quadrangle) to the south. Stone facades on the public side provide a modern interpretation of the stone of the historic Dickinson campus across the street.

“We had two objectives: first to add something new to Dickinson's historic campus, a building that provides for both distinctiveness and continuity, and second to reinforce the college's residential life goals, primarily to create a rich, diverse, and ultimately flexible community,” said Maitland Jones, a partner at Deborah Berke Partners.
