In fact, the dergraduate and graduate student held — a question that has broadly westernmost wall of the structure is housing stock. Associate Provost engaged the curiosity of the MIT a plain brick facade, suggesting that more additions were contemplated. The fifth building was completed in 1911, five years before MIT’s Main Group was completed. It has beau- tiful internal and external architec- tural features — including vaulted ceilings, a square corner brick tower, and a crenellated-corbelled cornice — all of which would be preserved in the proposed redevelopment. The idea for the current proposal to repurpose the Met Warehouse originated with Professor Anton Garcia-Abril Ruiz, who is a faculty member in the Department of Ar- chitecture. His office and studios are directly across from the Met Warehouse, causing him to become deeply intrigued by this building. Because of the historic nature of the facility, only limited changes can be made to the window open- ings. But Professor Ruiz developed a breakthrough idea that could allow light to be brought in, while main- taining the structural integrity of the building. His approach involves inserting a series of light wells that would penetrate the interior of the structure and fit precisely with the periodicity of the existing support framework. The dormitory rooms and common rooms near the light wells would then have increased natural light and views of the sky. Professor Ruiz also envisioned the possibility of adding additional floors on top of the existing historic structure. These upper floors would be highly transparent, and would have spectacular views of the sur- rounding area. His visionary designs have been reviewed by multiple colleagues in the Department of Architecture, including Meejin Yoon, the head of the Department of Architecture, and Hashim Sarkis, the dean of the School of Architecture and Plan- ning. Of course, these designs would need to be discussed and reviewed with the Cambridge Historical January Scholars in France Commission. Q. Do you feel that the location — Immerse yourself in the cultural life of Paris! IAP January 2016 at the corner of Massachusetts Ave- nue and Vassar Street — is a compelling feature of the proposal? A. I really do. The location is at the center of MIT’s campus, both from a north/south and an east/west perspective. Sometimes our community perceives that facilities in the west campus area are further from the main campus than they actually are. Bringing this building into active use will create an added sense of connectedness and cohesiveness. Also, the opportunity to integrate the Met Warehouse into the campus will anchor our planning efforts in the west campus area, where we are in the process of developing a flex- MIT’s Global Studies and Languages invites undergraduates to apply for January Scholars in France. ible, long-range framework to guide future development, including op- Experience two weeks of tutored immersion in the cultural life of Paris.

According to Robert Langer Nov 30 4:15 pm 6-120 Senior Associate Dean for Student Life Henry J. Humphreys, due to the layout of the dorm and its entranc- es, there is no feasible way to set up a security desk or a implement a guest policy there. “Getting from Here to There” Origin of express guest lists Express guest lists at Random A series of informal faculty talks for students were introduced in response to residents’ frustration over changes in security policies, especially the in- stallment of Allied-Barton workers at the previously student-run security desk and the requirement that all guests stop by the desk to check in, even if accompanied by a resi- dent. In order to help address these complaints, last spring, Housemas- ter Nina Davis-Millis worked with Random residents on creating the new express guest list policy. Humphreys said that the express guest list policy in Random was “a way to help make sure that people were complying with the new policies” while “still allowing for the type of community that has existed” in the dorm. Apart from minor complaints, such as the fact that alumni, who often visit Random, cannot have express guest access, the majority of Random thinks the new policy is an improvement. “Express guests lists are a lot better than no express guest lists,” said Random Co-Presi- dent Taylor S. Sutton ’17. Before the implementation of the express guest system last fall, Maseeh had no guest list system whatsoever. The express guest list policy was created in order for Mas- eeh to have a guest list system in the first place, as all other dorms do. Implementation at other dorms According to Humphreys, the express guest lists are labor-intensive to set up. Residents must submit the names of their desired guests. Then these names must be compared so that none of them overlap. Finally, guests must be manually entered into the computer system in order to activate their IDs. Because this process is difficult, the effective date of express guest lists is later than that of regular guest lists, and there are no plans to implement express guest lists in other dorms. “Until we can come up with a new guest management system that we can employ across all houses, this is how we have to operate for the moment,” Humphreys said. As of Wednesday, Sept. 16, express guest lists in Random Hall are active. Residents have until Oct. 1 to edit them before the lists are frozen for the semester.
