Administrators have said that the full House renewal projects will be a top priority for the upcoming capital campaign. Donors and senior administrators said in past interviews that the total cost of the renovation projects would be over a billion dollars.

According to members from the FAS Physical Resources Department, the renovation of Old Quincy will at least include updated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.

The House Program Planning Committee outlined further possible changes for the Houses, such as introducing “clusters”—large common rooms for students living in singles along a hallway—and eliminating walk-throughs, a rooming setup that requires students to walk through their roommate’s bedroom to reach the bathroom.

“Each House will continue to be unique, but we also believe strongly as we renovate the House system that each student shouldn’t have a different experience,” Smith said of the renovations.

College administrators are currently reviewing the HPPC’s recommendations for future renovations, and they hope to release more developed plans this May, according to Smith.
