Now that Parrish iconstruction is complete, there is much speculation as to the future of this space. According to Stu Hain, who is in charge of facilities and services, there has been no decision as of yet as to the permanent future of 3 and 5 Whittier Place. Rumors that the building will become a dorm space have not been confirmed by the administration.
