<p>little hall was also recently renovated. it was designed by the same architects who designed blair, and renovated by the same firm who handled blair's renovation. so they look very similar.</p>

<p>Speaking of the architecturally modern end of campus, which mostly houses math and sciences, there will soon be a Christian Menn pedestrian bridge connecting the genomics center with whatever's going up on the old Armory site. (He's a rather famous bridge designer, who also worked on the new Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston -- you'll learn about him if you ever happen to take Structures and the Urban Environment with Prof. Billington.) See the design here: <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/05/0502/3a.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/05/0502/3a.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>@Concerned7 I know Whitman does</p>

<p>Air conditioning is not really an issue, except for Reunions and the first couple of weeks of the year. Also, the school just opts not to turn it on in some dorms. (See: Forbes, where the Old Guard alums get AC for Reunions but nobody else does…!)</p>

<p>Bloomberg has A/C.</p>

<p>AC Dorms: All of Whitman, New Butler [1976,1967,Yoseleff, Bogle, Wilf], Bloomberg, Scully, possibly Forbes (really only used for Reunions, not during the year).</p>
