Middlebury College Reverses Decision to Demolish Landmark Building
|
Originally built
in 1959, Proctor Hall has become a campus landmark at Middlebury College. The
college - recognized nationally as a leader in sustainability initiatives -
reversed its decision to demolish the building and selected Freeman French
Freeman to help them retain it for the future. Together with Stewart Construction, the team
immediately focused on the functional needs of the building then addressed design
based upon the students expressed desires.
