  • Downtown Hotel Is Now Umass Lowell Inn & Conference Center
    UMass FALL 2009 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 MAGAZINE Downtown Hotel Is Now UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center A Message from the Chancellor In recent decades, campus “dorms” have evolved from cramped, humdrum quarters with little in the way of amenities or privacy into campus “residence halls” with a greater emphasis on comfort, choice and on-site social and academic support activities. This summer, UMass Lowell took a giant leap forward in the possibilities that campus housing can offer by purchasing the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Lowell and transforming it into the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, which this fall became home to 400 upper-class students. The purchase and renovation, as you will read in the cover story in this edition of the UMass Lowell Magazine, brings not only much needed housing space, but also provides the opportunity to develop exciting new programs such as living-learning communities. We have been careful to work with the community and ensure that rooms and conference space are available for the public use, which is important to the economic vitality of the City of Lowell. Bringing students downtown will not only help the local economy, it also will lead to valuable and innovative new academic and engagement partnerships with the region. Why would the campus take on such a significant project in the midst of challenging economic times? UMass Lowell continues to be a campus with enormous momentum. Our incoming class last year grew by 23 percent and overall enrollment increased 10 percent. The purchase of the 252-room downtown facility is a strategic investment that will allow us to reach our goal of having 50 percent of our students live on campus.

    the world’s first crowd-sourced fantasy hockey league IceHLIceHL 20112011 YEARBOOKYEARBOOK INAUGURAL EDITION icethetics.info • FREE YEARBOOK IceHL 2011 From the commissioner... Hello IceHL Fans! What began as an ambitious idea to build and brand a hockey league from the ground up has turned into one of the most sought-after fantasy leagues on the web. In 2008, we began a design-by-democracy process of creating a league from scratch on the Icethetics blog. Readers voted on every aspect from deciding which cities would get teams to what names logos each should use. Two years after the project began, 20 fans breathed life into the league by taking part in our inaugural fantasy hockey season. As we begin our second year, I thought it appropriate to take a look back at how we got where we are and what happened during that inaugural season. I hope you enjoy this yearbook and the upcoming IceHL season! Chris Smith IceHL Commissioner www.icethetics.info P.S.: Try not to confuse me with the über-talented IceHL logo artist who shares my name and whose work you will see throughout this book. Enjoy! 2 YEARBOOK IceHL 2011 From the Ground Up... The project was announced as “From the Ground Up” on Aug. 10, 2008. In that blog post, plans were laid out for Icethetics’ biggest undertaking to date. Designing an entire hockey league from scratch would be an arduous process, but readers would be able to give their input in every decision made, every step of the way. NORTH AMERICA OR THE WORLD? After 69% of readers showed an interest in moving forward with the project, they were asked how the geography of the league should be defined.
