This location will accommodate two new communities of roughly 440 students, with all the features of Yale’s existing colleges: separate dining halls and common rooms, courtyards, masters’ houses, and student suites built on an entryway system. Each of the new colleges will be approximately 220,000 square feet http://residentialcolleges.yale.edu/constructing-colleges/site.html E6C1D071-3BC9-4492-A698-F789AE1FA570 Tue, 3 Jun 2008 12:02:32 -0400 Yale's existing residential colleges sustain close-knit communities within the larger University. Students know each other by name and face, and they know senior -- the new facilities. http://residentialcolleges.yale.edu/news/rcslideshow.html 6A9D527F-284F-427C-8DBF-2E3B0F1BA3E0 Tue, 3 Jun 2008 12:03:03 -0400 The first of Yale’s twelve residential colleges opened its doors in 1933, thanks to the vision and support of Edward H. Harkness B.A. 1897. Since that time, the colleges have existed at the very heart of the undergraduate experience. More than just buildings, or even dormitories, the colleges support the academic and social needs of every student. Cast in the mold of Harkness’s original vision, the newest colleges will build on the best elements of the current system. http://residentialcolleges.yale.edu/news/studentstory.html 6016FC33-FFD3-4FE6-9AF0-A99C276188EA Tue, 3 Jun 2008 12:03:46 -0400 The expansion of Yale College is about extending a superlative educational experience to a growing number of talented young people. And as the student body grows, donors are helping to secure new resources so that the quality of that experience is enhanced on every level.
