Description
The four-building dormitory complex surrounds a newly-created courtyard landscape. This complex refers back to and completes the existing one mile long Kenyon campus axis, weaving the formal campus plan with the existing woods. It creates a loosely defined courtyard spatially framed by four buildings. A path through the courtyard weaves down into the college woods. It is made of stone, stucco, wood, and lead-coated copper.
