The school, formerly a public elementary school that Medford declared to be surplus property, is located on George Street behind the Elliott-Pearson building. Offices to be moved include the University Advancement Division and the University Relations Division , both of which are either currently in Packard Hall or in rented spaces off campus. The Web Communications, Publications and Photography divisions will also move to the Dame school from their current rented space at 200 Boston Avenue. Tufts announced at a September 2004 fac- ulty meeting that the university had acquired the Dame School and planned to renovate it for office space, freeing up Packard Hall on the Academic Quad for other use.
