Chris Ash tweeted the following. Anyone know where these new Dorms are located? It's been so long since I have visited the College Ave Campus where I lived during my days at Rutgers.
OT: New Dorms on College Ave
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
Isn't "The Yard" suppose to be where the grease trucks use to be. I think it's at the corner of Hamilton/College Ave.

one year I lived in the Dorms almost across the street from there, but, down the block. The really old one. I'm curious if it is still there.
How far along is construction ?

College Ave was always the old campus. Good to see some modernization, but, the old historic buildings have to stay.

No argument there...overall, it's always been ugly...no reason it can't be both history-preserving and beautiful...
Believe The Yard is supposed to be open in August per @Cofifa. There will also be an unveiling of a scarlet knight statue by hopefully Homecoming. Going to be 5-10 restaurants there along the boardwalk and a large screen TV for events.
That picture on the left looks like it could be from today. Like I said they're getting there but cutting it close with school around the corner. The new Honors College was built just in the nick of time, so I'll trust Devco on this one.
And these are the dorms on college ave. I think you might be talking about Mettler, Tinsley, or Stonier?
That.'s it I think it was Ford. A real dump. The only Dorm located down towards Hamilton Ave. What happened to it ? It's not on the list.
I lived in Brett, Mettler, Hegeman and Ford.
Doesn't anyone remember the actual name of these things?
Scott Hall Lot. (though I am sure it was assigned a number)
Ford Hall. (RAA beat me to it)
Curious if "The Yard" is going to become a destination for watching games without crossing the river. Should be an interesting dynamic once it opens.
Back in the planning stages, Pernetti said it would be THE place for students to watch away games.
Ford Hall has been closed and the plan is to convert it to administrative office space.
Way to block off the first four houses on frat row/Union st completely from sight o_O
And the view from those houses is now a skyscraper
The size of that building is completely misplaced. Excellent job with the honors college. Not so much with the yard.

With the name of the project, I agree.
I thought Union Place was better. Much better.
But you need to see it in person. Not bad. And I think all of you will love the final touch(s).
