Members of the MIT community break ground for NW35, a new residence hall that will house 1,700 graduate students. The building, due for completion in July 2008, will be located near the Sidney-Pacific and Warehouse residences, transforming these graduate halls into a community. It will also allow the transition of Ashdown House into an undergraduate residence hall.
