"An important point to remember is the new Radcliffe will be significantly larger," Armini said. "Because Byerly Hall will not be available for several years, we have to make plans based on the space that will be available. It's too early to say what we'll be doing six years from now."
He said a team of consultants is currently examining how Radcliffe uses its space.
Armini said having centrally located living and working space for fellows is critical to the Institute's goals.
"To have this very intellectually stimulating environment that we're shooting for, we need to build a community," Armini said. "Some people will not need housing. For those who do, we'll guarantee housing."
But if all of next year's 56 fellows were to request Radcliffe-provided housing, the Institute would be hard-pressed to convert Cronkhite in time.
Yet Armini said that once converted, Cronkhite might ultimately be adequate, since some fellows would already have places to live in the Cambridge area.
Armini said that the Institute might also house fellows in a building that Radcliffe controls at 83 Brattle St., which currently houses Harvard-affiliated faculty and students.
