| 1219 | Dartmouth College Additions and Renovations to the Thayer School of Engineering |
|
| October 15, 1987 wall sections and details Roc's comments: We did an addition to the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth when I was an associate at the firm of Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown in Philadelphia. It was a pleasure and education working for Bob Venturi and John Rauch as the Project Manager on this project. The stock market took a dive when the bids were due and this project came in one million dollars under budget. The professors were delighted when we used the money to upgrade their laboratory equipment. This was the only class 1000 clean room I was involved with and I enjoyed doing the drawings of the entry structure and overseers room myself. Tom Fisher was the project manager for the very complicated construction phase and the Boston firm Payette Associates expert laboratory designers were our partners on this project. As complicated as anything I have ever done and a great preparation for the two hospital additions we did in later years. I liked this kind of complicated work. After this project the Venturi firm was asked to do two major projects for Dartmouth. |

| 1231 | Gates Dormitory Unbuilt at College of the Atlantic |
|
| site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, construction details, electrical, mechanical. plumbing, heating, landscape photographs are of a 3-D model Roc's comments: Gates was the first project we did for COA when I was still in Philly working with Lyman Perry. We went to an interview and were chosen to design one single small dormitory/ home for something like 8-12 students. It was never built. But a few years later the college asked for the larger dorm that resulted in B/T. |

| Elevations, floor plan, sketches Roc's Comments: Geddy Mitchell was a local scalawag. I think he sold drugs in his early years and made enough money to buy a bar named Geddy's Pub on Main Street in Bar Harbor. He had something like 70 different altercations with customers when he was trying to clean up the place and never lost one. In one incident he was shot in the back by a shotgun welding neighbor and he survived. He liked me and Helen for some reason and came to the office with his profits one year and said that, while he did not have enough money to buy land on the water and build a house, he did have enough to build a house and would I design a house boat that he might build and moor off shore in various harbors around MDI. This way he might have his water view. We visited with John Letcher of Aerohydro engineers and with Jock Williams at his boatyard to engineer the hull. It was a sweet little project but Gerry being Gerry by the time we solved the problem he was off on the next adventure. |

|
| Property plan, site plan, floor plans, elevations, schedules, framing plans, details, sections, mechanical plans Roc's Comments: I have liked most of the clients I have worked for over the years. The McLeans are in the top 5. Two older Philadelphia people who found each other later in life and joined their big families. They were happy and kind and wonderful to work with. Don had found some property that was thought to be inaccessible but once we had hiked to the site the view was magnificent looking down into all of Northeast Harbor and across to Greenings and Southwest. Harris Hyman, my partner and friend was an excellent civil engineer and he worked out a precipitous drive up the side of the mountain to their ideal site. We decided that, while the view was excellent from there we did not want to harm the view looking back toward their home so I suggested we build the home then only sparingly prune tree limbs for the view. As the land was so steep I also suggested we wrap the grade level and porches and support columns in study western red cedar lattice made to silver out and blend into the surrounding forest texture. This was the first time I tried this and have used it often since. The mottled texture of the surface diminishes the visual impact of a structure on its surround. Something, I think, the early shingle style architects tried often. I was a full time employee working for Venturi, Scott Brown in Philadelphia at the time and did this project at night and on weekends. It was good to see the McLeans in their home state and know the vacation home site as well. This project, in my mind was a total success. |

| 1287 | Renovations to Stone Crop |
|
| Floor plans, sections, elevation Roc's Comments: This was my first job. It was for Neva Goodwin who has remained a good friend ever since. The work began back in the 70's and was first a kitchen renovation with bay window addition. Bob Patterson who suggested me to Neva was cajoled into designing the beautiful garden in front. Neva and I worked well together and she truly enjoyed the new space when it was completed. Edgar Walls did the construction and Barb Sassaman helped with the drawings. We went on to do about 5 or six additional tasks for Neva there including moving and renovating the Jordan house across the road. |

| 1298 | Wendell Gilley Museum Sketches and Plans |
|
| Sketches, site plan, foundation plan, floor plans, elevations, details, schedules, electrical, mechanical, framing plans, plumbing, fireplace details, museum display cabinet plans Roc's Comments: Wendell told us he wanted the museum to have his workshop in the hopes it would inspire others to carve. After he died his son chose to auction the items in his shop off to the highest bidder. The audience knew of Wendells wishes and no one bid except the curator of the Museum who acquired all of the items for a reasonable price. I was then asked to design a room to display his shop and a workspace for carvers and a small auditorium. We had not realized how popular the place would become and needed space for expansion. I did this work from my home studio in Philadelphia and John DeFazio a fellow employee at Venturi, Scott Brown helped with the drawings. |

As I recall I was out of work and called Bob to see if he needed help and he asked me to do the construction drawings for this one. I was happy for the work. The final project was a great success and I am proud to have been associated with Bob. |

| 1312 | Schematic Design for College of the Atlantic Auditorium and Site Plan |
|
| These are drawings of an Auditorium for College of the Atlantic. They are a good example of the extent of the COA campus and future plans in the early 80's. Stewart Brecher was hired to replace me as the teacher in Environmental design. He went to Judy Swazey, the president who had just replaced Ed Kaelber, and complained that I was still involved in the College. Judy decided to use nether of us for the design and hired Dan Sculley as their new architect for the project. There was a faculty member, Paul Dubois, who was an arsonist and Paul for unexplainable reasons burned down the original Campus building. Dan then designed the new Kaelber Hall- dining, library and classroom building and the College prospered from that point on. Long story. Toward the end of my work teaching and establishing a program in Environmental Design at College of the Atlantic I was asked to design a new auditorium for them. Sort of a swan song and thank you gift from the College. Harris Hyman and Barbara Sassaman and I did this. There were a number of alternative schemes presented and they settled on the one included here. There is a clever little 1/8th scale model with removable roof that goes along with these drawings. After I left the College, Stuart Brecher became the design teacher and complained to the new president of COA, Judy Swazey, that he should be the one to do the project. Judy took me to lunch and, while picking up the check, said she had decided to have neither of us do the project but put us on a committee to hire a third architect. Our committee hired Dan Sculley, an old friend, to do the new auditorium. Within the year Paul Dubois, a disgruntled COA teacher set the original Kaelber Hall on fire and it was totally destroyed. Sculley then did an excellent job designing a new Library/student center and Dining Hall in its place. By the time of its completion I was working in Philadelphia for the firm Venturi, Rauch, Scott-Brown and the college of the Atlantic decided to hire Turner Brooks (another friend and Yale classmate) to do a new Auditorium/Classroom building. When we returned to MDI in 1990 I was finally asked to do a project for COA, the reason we moved to MDI in the first place. The building we eventually completed was the Blair/ Tyson Dormitory. Sculley, Brooks and I sat within 2o feet of each other in graduate school and have been friend ever since. We went on to each do projects for Marlboro College in Vermont.
