These are more than Harvard’s residential Houses. These are the communities where learning comes alive, friendships are formed, and memories are created. Central to the Harvard College experience, Houses are where students eat, sleep, study, perform, compete, and relax together—and where they grow and learn from one another and their extended family of House masters, tutors, and advisors.

These places of possibility are now being revitalized through House Renewal, the ambitious effort to adapt the Houses—which first opened in the 1930s—to meet the needs of 21st-century students. House Renewal is about nurturing community through improved spaces that foster interaction among students, faculty, and tutors. It’s about making creative use of previously underused areas while adding luster to the buildings’ historic character. It’s about magnifying the impact of the treasured House system for the students of today and tomorrow.
