Power outages during interim affect Hanover

By Madeline Zeiss | June 21, 2012

The College experienced two significant power outages similar to those that occurred at the end of Spring term during the interim period on June 13 and June 15, according to Kenneth Packard, director of engineering and utilities. A fault in the underground utilities feed owned by National Grid, the energy company that is responsible for the transmission of Hanover's power, in front of the Circle K gas station on Main Street caused the outage on June 13, Packard said.

Hanover Inn will have partial opening in June

By Manav Raj | May 24, 2012

Nathan Yeo / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Although construction on the Hanover Inn will continue throughout the summer, more than 94 guest rooms and a new 38-seat restaurant will be fully completed and ready for use by Commencement, Director of Media Relations for the College Justin Anderson said in an email to The Dartmouth. The College undertook renovations to the historic Hanover Inn in an effort to increase the number of guest rooms and create well-equipped, modern meeting facilities to help the College and the Town of Hanover bring conferences to the area that might otherwise take place at other Ivy League schools and in other towns, according to Anderson. "We don't want a high-level meeting not to happen at Dartmouth just because there was a better meeting space in New Haven or Cambridge," he said. Anderson said that the new conference facilities will enrich the academic life of Dartmouth's students and faculty. "The renovation of the Inn is a key to supporting Dartmouth's academic mission," Anderson said.
