| 1212 | Blair/Tyson Dorms at College of the Atlantic |
|
| Elevations, floor plans, site plans, sketches, full construction set Roc Caivano, architect; Wells Bacon, student assistant; Lanpher Associates, engineers Roc's comments: Lou Rabineau, COA President asked us to design new dorms for COA. We did some research and learned that groups of 8 or less will take responsibility for their living environment but more than that number ignore their responsibilities to others. So we designed seven separate 8 bed apartments interconnected. The building form followed the real estate divisions of the of the old property lines, the geological shape of the land at the entrance to the Turrets and was meant to evoke images of older 19th century barns and stables and work buildings. The courtyard faced true south and brought fresh air and sun into every room. We came to MDI to work at the newly founded College of the Atlantic in 1974. I did any number of small projects and helped renovate the Turrets during those years but always wanted to do something of substance for them. When we returned from an extended "residency" working as an associate in the Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown firm in Philadelphia, Lou Rabineau, the then president of the college, asked me to design a new dormitory for them. They had come a long way since our earlier struggling days and, I think Lou had a great deal to do with putting them on the right track. Todd Stanley, John Gordon, Wells Bacon and John De Fazio ( a Venturi colleague) all helped with this first large project. I did some research and found that groups of people in units of 8 or less were aware and cared for their common environment so we divided the dormitory into 7, 8 bed living units- each with kitchens common rooms and separated bathrooms on each floor. We oriented the clusters at the entrance to the Turrets where the old carriage house and servant facilities were once placed and treated the building form in the same detail and scale. We prepared the rooms so each got direct sunlight and fresh air and all opened onto a common courtyard. The single rooms were designed to code minimum doubles and the double rooms to code minimum triples which allowed the college to expand from the 56 beds used on a regular basis to a 74 bed capability in an emergency. All of this worked! The building has been the home for close to 2000 young students and survived in excellent form with very little maintenance. One of my proudest accomplishments ever. |

| 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. |

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. |
