FAS Gym Holds Untapped Space

"Together we filled [Byerly] nicely, but that's an accident of history. We don't share computers, or personnel. We're happily ensconced neighbors, period," she says.

Lewis calls Hemenway a "wonderful space that would work for us," and says Hemenway would be a "great option for admissions and financial aid."

The Law School's Courts

While undergraduates and FAS officials could all use the Hemenway space, the Law School would love to own the building outright.

"We'd like to purchase Hemenway," Dean of the Law School Robert C. Clark said.

Clark said when FAS considered taking the building for office space two years ago, students were very upset. He said there is also a "small number of devoted faculty" who are very attached to the Hemenway and its squash courts, including Dean of the Kennedy School of Government Joseph S. Nye.

"I have played squash at Hemenway for nearly forty years and would greatly regret its closing," Nye says.

While FAS has kept its cash out of Hemenway, the Law School began a $150,000 project last week to purchase new cardiovascular equipment and turn two squash courts into a new weight room.
