An MIT Alumni Association Publication
You've probably heard that Old Ashdown underwent extensive renovations and reopened this semester for undergraduate residents as Fariborz Maseeh Hall, named for the alumnus who funded much of the overhaul. Take a look at the building and the new dining hall, The Howard, which is open to the entire MIT community. The dining hall's name was chosen by an anonymous donor who made the first gift toward the renovation. All photos: Chris Brown.
