Undergraduate college facilities

Academic and administrative buildings

East Wheelock Cluster

The East Wheelock Cluster stands at the end of East Wheelock Street and consists of five buildings. Initially known as "the new dorms," the construction of the post-modern Andres, Morton and Zimmerman was inspired by the Houses at Harvard University and the residential colleges at Yale University. Sponsored by the class of 1943, the first three halls of the cluster were constructed in 1987, with McCulloch being added in 2000. East Wheelock is reputed to be a quieter and more intellectual housing cluster, and requires an application form for students wishing to live there. The Ledyard Apartments stand nearby and house upperclass students.

Massachusetts Row Cluster

The "Mass Row" cluster is popular for its convenient location to Thayer Dining Hall and the Collis Center. It houses only upperclass students.

The River Cluster

Originally known as "the Wigwams," the River Cluster is so named for its location near the banks of the Connecticut River. The all-freshman portion of the River dorms now comprises only two dormitories, with Hinman Hall being demolished to make way for the Tuck LLC (see below). The other two are apartment facilities.

Wheeler-Richardson Cluster

Thayer School of Engineering

The Thayer School of Engineering is located adjacent to the Tuck School of Business on the western edge of campus, near the Connecticut River. It currently comprises two buildings, and it shares the Murdough Center (listed under Tuck) with the Tuck School of Business.
