Series Description:

From the Series:

A new hockey rink to replace Dayton Arena (built in 1956) was a campaign commitment of The Bowdoin Campaign. Though officially launched November 10, 2006, the campaign began its "quiet phase" on July 1, 2004. With the campaign underway, planning began for the new hockey rink. This series contains the hockey rink files of Scott Meiklejohn, Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Assistant to the President. Included are architectural proposals, background material, presentations, drawings, estimates, meeting minutes, and notes. Bear Mountain Design Architects Collaborative, Ltd. was chosen as architect for the new arena; Pro Con, Inc. was the contractor. At the groundbreaking ceremony on June 2, 2007, President Mills announced that the arena would be named Watson Arena, in honor of Sid Watson, Ashmead White Director of Athletics. Construction began September 2007, and Watson Arena officially opened January 18, 2009.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
