During two early-twentieth century building campaigns, Hotchkiss was built in almost seamless fashion with a singular design expression to the traditional designs by Bruce Price, Cass Gilbert, and Delano and Aldrich. During the 1960s, the school strayed from this tradition. Our designs for Flinn and Edelman halls return Hotchkiss to its architectural roots and historic character favored by its students, faculty, and trustees. These two student residences embrace a new quadrangle, each building providing 29 student dormitory rooms with shared bathrooms, study rooms at each floors, a generous ground floor lounge with a fireplace opening to a terrace for student activities, and four faculty apartments with fireplaces and outdoor porches. Our three-story buildings keep to the prevailing scale of the campus by creating a central building framed with gambrel-roofed side wings housing the faculty apartments. The building materials reflect those of Hotchkiss's best existing buildings: fine brick details complement double-hung shuttered windows and inviting classical entry porticos.
