Community members signed their names into Hotchkiss history as part of the ongoing construction of the new Dining Commons, which will be the heart and hearth of the School when it opens next year.
Students, faculty, staff, and parents used colorful markers to sign a white beam that was installed in the interior of the Dining Commons on Nov. 15. This time capsule will remain hidden as part of the building’s infrastructure. Parents of the Class of 2025 signed the beam as a group during Family Weekend.
Last month, Honors Photography Portfolio students Katie Flynn ’25, Audrey Helling ’25, Andrew Hickman ’25, Gabe Quinn ’25, Ethan Shin ’25, and William Yee ’25, along with Greg Lock P'24, director of photography, film, and related media, visited the Dining Commons construction site to take photos during a tour. They also left their mark on the building by writing their names in wet concrete.
