2017 2017: Building a better future

Paul Rudolph had a vision for the UMass Dartmouth campus more than 50 years ago. As with all visions, it must be updated, reinvented, and renovated to remain relevant.

Consider UMass Dartmouth’s Claire T. Carney Library. It has won numerous architectural awards for taking an outdated structure and reimagining a campus intellectual hub that attracts students, faculty, staff, and the community.

And there’s more happening on campus. The new Charlton Learning Pavilion Technology Center and atrium draw students in and keep them engaged.

Student life areas like the new game room in the Campus Center or the Birch Grill in the Woodland residence complex are gathering spots that help build community.

The Hall-Hildreth IDEAStudio continues to evolve as technologies and student needs are identified and met.
