| 释义 |
College Houses are a major part of facilitating a community and experience amongst the undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania. Each house has one Faculty Master and one House Dean, with at least two College House Fellows (members of the faculty and senior administration) in residence.[1] Each house hosts a wide range of jobs for students, including Residential Advisors, Graduate Associates, House Councils, Managers and Information Technology Advisors. The houses also encourage communities through the wide range of Residential Programs within the system. The University recently announced plans for New College House West, which will open in Fall 2021 at 40th and Walnut Streets.[2] After this college house opens, sophomores will also be required to live on campus housing. Penn will require students to live on campus through sophomore year starting 2021.[3] The Quadrangle{{main|Quadrangle Dormitories (University of Pennsylvania)}}The Quadrangle, located at 3700 Spruce Street, is divided into three College Houses: Fisher Hassenfeld, Ware, and Riepe. The houses are named for James and Gail Riepe, John H. Ware III, Anne and Jerome Fisher, and Alan G. Hassenfeld.[4][5] Though the entire Quadrangle building is interconnected, much of the programming is housed within individual college houses. All three houses are for freshmen only. Lounges, libraries, and laundry rooms are located throughout the building and are shared by all residents of the Quad. The section of the building that now comprises much of Fisher Hassenfeld was the first dormitory built on Penn's campus.[6] The University recently announced it is searching for an architect to start renovations at the Quad after the completion of New College House West. Hill College House{{Commons category}}Hill College House, located at 3333 Walnut Street, is one of the largest college houses at the University of Pennsylvania. Hill was designed in 1958 by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, who also designed the St. Louis Arch, the former TWA Flight Center at New York City's Kennedy Airport, and Dulles Airport. The building was unusual for its time, incorporating an interior atrium. Originally the women's dormitory, Hill is now co-ed and houses only freshmen. There is a dining hall in the lower level of the building. In common with other buildings constructed at the height of the Cold War, the basement of Hill contains a fallout shelter, which links to the University's utility tunnels. The building was closed for renovation for the entire 2016-2017 school year. Kings Court English College HouseKing's Court English College House, located at 3465 Sansom Street, was the first college house to host a residential program. Like Hill, it is a freshmen-only house and has a dining hall on the ground floor. King's Court was originally a luxury apartment building, and was restricted to nursing students only from World War II until 1975. It currently does not have air conditioning.[7] English House, funded in 1960 by alum Thomas English, was officially incorporated into the college house in 1978.[8]New College HouseNew College House at Hill Field, as suggested by its name, is the newest building in the College House system and the first to be designed specifically for the College House system. It first opened to students for the 2016-17 school year and was designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, who also specialize in the Apple Store design.[9]New College House WestNew College House West will as of 2021 replace New College Hall as the newest building in the College House system. Situated next to the three high rises and two low rises in High Rise Field, it will open to students in the Fall of the 2021-2022 academic year. High RisesHarnwell College House, Harrison College House, and Rodin College House collectively make up the three High Rise dormitories. Along with the two Low Rise dorms, they are located off of Locust Walk between 38th and 40th streets in what is referred to as High Rise Field. Each high rise building contains 24 floors of residential housing, as well as rooftop and lobby study lounges. All three houses are open to any and all upperclassmen students. The three high rises were designed identically by G. Holmes Perkins, a former Dean of the Design School, and constructed in 1971-72. They opened as High Rise East, High Rise South, and High Rise North respectively, but have since been renamed for W. Welsh Harrison, Gaylord Harnwell, and Judith Rodin, the latter two of which were presidents of the university.[10][11][12] Stouffer College HouseStouffer College House contains both Stouffer Hall and Mayer Hall. Stouffer Hall, located at 3702 Spruce Street, opened in 1972 and was one of the first College Houses. Mayer Hall, located diagonally across the street at 3817 Spruce Street, opened a few years earlier in 1964. However, Mayer was not officially incorporated into Stouffer College House until 2001. Mayer is named for Harold C. Mayer, a former University trustee. Stouffer Hall formerly had a dining hall, which was closed in 2001.[13]Low RisesW. E. B. Du Bois and Gregory College Houses are two low-rise counterparts to the high rises on the west side of campus. Du Bois is located to the north of the high rises on Walnut Street and Gregory is to the south on Spruce Street. The buildings, however, can only be accessed via pedestrian pathways on opposite side of the streets. Both buildings are four-year communities, open to any students. Du Bois, originally Low Rise North, is named for W. E. B. Du Bois, who spent time conducting research at Penn for his 1899 publication The Philadelphia Negro. Du Bois focuses on supporting the pursuit of African American culture. Many of its activities are co-sponsored by various campus organizations including the Black student League, Muslim Students Association, and the LGBT Center.[14] Gregory, originally Low Rise South, is named for Emily Lovira Gregory, a botanist who was the first female faculty member at Penn. Gregory focuses on events geared towards film studies and foreign language programs.[15] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/brochure/collegehouses_11-12.pdf |title=College House Brochure |publisher=collegehouses.upenn.edu |date= |accessdate=2011-03-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001225828/http://www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/brochure/collegehouses_11-12.pdf |archive-date=2011-10-01 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.pennconnects.upenn.edu/find_a_project/alphabetical/new_college_house_west_alpha/new_college_house_west_overview.php |title=New College House West |publisher=University of Pennsylvania |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |last1=Snyder |first1=Susan |title=Penn to require students to live on campus through sophomore year |url=https://www.philly.com/philly/education/university-of-pennsylvania-housing-requirement-students-to-live-on-campus-through-sophomore-year-20180926.html}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://riepe.house.upenn.edu/history |title=History of Riepe College House at the University of Pennsylvania |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 5. ^ {{cite web |url=https://ware.house.upenn.edu/History |title=History & Coat of Arms |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://fh.house.upenn.edu/front |title=Fisher Hassenfeld College House |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.thedp.com/article/2016/09/students-survive-without-air-conditioning}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://kcech.house.upenn.edu/history |title=House History |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=https://new.house.upenn.edu/history |title=New College House History |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=https://harnwell.house.upenn.edu/namesake |title=Our Namesake |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=https://harrison.house.upenn.edu/history |title=Harrison: The House and its History |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=https://rodin.house.upenn.edu/History |title=History |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite web |url=https://stouffer.house.upenn.edu/History |title=History |publisher=Office of College Houses & Academic Services |accessdate=October 6, 2018}} 14. ^{{cite web |url=https://dubois.house.upenn.edu/webdubois |title=W.E.B.
