Samuel B. Roberts, master mason for the College, is currently dismantling and rebuilding the stone structure outside of McNutt Hall. The "Inuksuk," as it is called, was built by Inuit artist Peter Irniq and has stood in its present location for a year and a half, Roberts said. The College asked Roberts to rebuild the structure, which has been knocked over on several occasions and now tilts slightly to one side, Roberts said. Roberts's plans include adding stainless steel pins for support and enlisting Dartmouth's grounds crew to landscape the stones bordering the structure. Roberts said he hopes to use all the original stones and complete the project within the next few weeks. Irniq is aware that the "Inuksuk" has experienced some "tough times," Roberts said, adding that he intends to inform Irniq about the restoration project. Although the College briefly considered alternate locations for the structure, the area on which it stands has been designated a Hood site, and the College is committed to keeping the "Inuksuk" where it is.
