BETHANY, Conn. — Bethany is small, says its First-Selectman Derrylyn Gorski — so small in fact, that the town of 5,600 relies on its neighbors to get by. Several years ago, Gorski said, Bethany officials realized it could not afford both a street sweeper and a catch basin cleaner (an elephant-like vacuum used to clean storm drains).

In 1972, Yale announced a plan for expansion. The blueprints had been drawn. Funding was in place. The location had been determined. But on the eve of construction, New Haven officials blocked the addition of Yale residential colleges 13 and 14. A decade after the erection of Ezra Stiles and Morse colleges, Yale was once again feeling the strain of a quickly expanding...
Many of Yale’s science departments could witness a rise in the number of majors and increased course offerings for non-majors if the University goes ahead with a proposal for the addition of two new residential colleges. But for some departments these benefits would likely come at the expense of faculty shortages and a strain on lab spaces unless the University...
Students may not have noticed it, but Yale’s campus grew by a third on Tuesday morning. This week, the University finalized its purchase of the 137-acre Bayer HealthCare campus for $109 million. Although the deal was first announced in June, Bayer and Yale officials have been conducting due diligence and hammering out details until now, administrators said. Yale paid...
With regard to construction around campus, the University is playing a “large game of dominos,” according to School of Architecture Dean Robert Stern. As new facilities open up, programs are rotated around campus to allow for other buildings to be renovated or demolished. The new Sculpture Building and Garage, which opened this semester on Edgewood Avenue, one block...
