<p>Morse & Stiles are going to be fully renovated. I know this b/c my D, who graduated last year, lived in one of them and as an alum has been kept in the loop. Though not in the classic Yale gothic style they are, believe it or not, considered landmarks by architecture buffs because they were designed by a famous architect named Eero Saarinen, and because of that can’t be altered at all on the outside.</p>
<p>The insides are going to be completely rebuilt and turned into suites similar to those in the other colleges. And in an open area between Morse/Stiles and the Payne Whitney gym is going to be built an entire below-ground complex of rooms & courtyards & skylights containing all sorts of extra common space, something in short supply there now.</p>
