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.
