- Description:
- When Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, was founded in 1769 the school had an open quadrangle plan for its first two building groupings. Early in the 19th century the college adopted the Yale-originated row scheme, and in the mid-19th century the row was incorporated into a third extended version of the open quadrangle idea. Dartmouth's first structures were largely multipurpose, reflecting the philosophy that students, faculty, and administration should be brought together in a common physical environment in pursuit of shared educational goals. This philosophy was gradually supplanted by the view that specialization of functions in separated but contiguous buildings created the most successful educational environment.
