May 2008 - In the interest of updating on-campus housing,
Gallatin Hall is undergoing a complete gut and renovation.
Originally constructed in 1926, this 4-story, U-shaped, brick
and wood building is an MBA student residence which
encompasses 48,218 SF.

When complete it will house 71 single, private bedroom / bathroom combinations with each floor featuring a common kitchen. In addition, the structure will accommodate staff offices, the student newspaper, and a 2-story lounge with bridge connector to the redesigned courtyard.

The restoration and preservation of the building facade will lend points to Harvard’s objective of achieving LEED Gold Certification for the project. Work will continue on this busy occupied campus with classes in session and special consideration for site safety and truck traffic.
