The building has undergone at least two noticeable addition projects over the years. Hamilton Smith Hall now houses academic offices within the College of Liberal Arts.

"BERNIE SANDERS On the Issues The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? Are we prepared to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class, or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy? These are the most important questions of our time, and how we answer them will determine the future of our country." Want more information on where Bernie stands on the issues?

History of the Pool The UNH Outdoor pool was built in 1938 as part of the Works Project Administration (WPA) and has been a long standing fixture in the Durham community. This seasonal facility is open to the public as well as students and staff of UNH and is made up of five areas (Salmon, Perch, Shark, Minnow, Whale and Lap Lanes) including diving area and zero-depth entry. History On a spring day in 1924, 200 male students armed with picks and shovels went to the somewhat boggy area behind the old gym (New Hampshire Hall) and made a good start on what would become the College Pond. During the 12 years it served as the local swimming hole, however, the pond gradually became a source of worry to the university physician. It was finally condemned as a health hazard and drained in the summer of 1936. Six months later the administration succeeded in getting the promise of WPA labor for various campus projects, including a "modern, sanitary swimming pool with granite block tiling which will be filled with chlorine-treated water to be completely re-circulated every 24 hours." It took a year and a half to transform the old pond into a modern swimming pool. The university held a grand opening for the new pool during the 20th annual Farmers' and Homemakers' week in August 1938. Draped with white cloth, the diving tower was transformed into a lighthouse for the folk extravaganza "Lamp Black and the Seven Giants." The diving tower is now gone but the pool is still enjoyed each summer by both Durham residents and the university community.

We score the world's largest companies on their climate impact to spur corporate climate responsibility and conscious consumption. Our goal is to motivate deeper awareness among consumers — that the issue of climate change demands their attention, and that they have the power to support companies that take climate change seriously and avoid those that don't. When consumers take action and raise their voices on issues that matter to them, businesses pay attention. We have no interest in doom-and-gloom environmental reporting and instead believe that positive change starts with a hopeful outlook that real change is possible and that the relationship between companies and consumers can become more substantive and constructive.

The Museum of Art is dedicated to service in two major areas: academic programs and community outreach. As a teaching museum, it provides students at the University of New Hampshire with challenging opportunities to learn from works of art on a first-hand basis. In community outreach, the Museum of Art is a center for the visual arts, where members of the University community and visitors to the University can enjoy art exhibitions and programs of high quality and broad interest. The Museum of Art fulfills these roles by presenting an active schedule of changing exhibitions of art, educational programs (lectures, concerts, and gallery talks) for both the campus and off-campus communities, an outreach program (lending library and guided tours of exhibitions) geared toward K-12 teachers and school children, and the maintenance of a permanent art collection utilized for exhibitions, teaching, and research. The Museum of Art cares for a permanent collection of 1,700 works of art, including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, ceramics, and sculpture. The collection emphasizes nineteenth- and twentieth-century prints and drawings and includes nearly two hundred Japanese woodblock prints. Annual exhibitions feature works from the permanent collection.
