Why Walk Dartmouth College Campus
Dartmouth's campus in Hanover, New Hampshire, is centered on the Dartmouth Green, a broad lawn surrounded by Georgian and Colonial Revival buildings. Baker-Berry Library, with its 200-foot tower, dominates the north side and contains the famous Orozco murals — a series of frescoes by Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco painted between 1932 and 1934. Dartmouth Hall, the original building rebuilt by 1906 after a 1904 fire, faces the Green from the east. The Hopkins Center for the Arts (the 'Hop'), designed by Wallace Harrison (who later designed Lincoln Center), houses theater, music, and film programs. The Thayer School of Engineering and Tuck School of Business sit on the north edge of campus. The Connecticut River and the Appalachian Trail are minutes from campus.
