Dormitories Taking Shape
Two new Milton houses are taking shape. Once considered as two separate building projects, Milton is now building the two dormitories together; they will be ready to house students for the 2004–2005 school year. The dorms will allow Milton to bring the number of day students and boarding students to parity, in keeping with the School's historical tradition.

Each of the new Milton houses has a distinctive character. They are linked by a common dining room that overlooks the varsity soccer and lacrosse fields. New England brick and clapboard exteriors unite these three-story houses with other Milton buildings; dormers and the variegated roof lines maintain the feel of the existing campus.
