the east wheelock cluster stands at the end of east wheelock street and consists of five buildings. initially known as "the new dorms," the construction of the post-modern andres, morton and zimmerman was inspired by the houses at harvard university and the residential colleges at yale university. sponsored by the class of 1943, the first three halls of the cluster were constructed in 1987, with mcculloch being added in 2000. east wheelock is reputed to be a quieter and more intellectual housing cluster, and requires an application form for students wishing to live there. the ledyard apartments stand nearby and house upperclass students.
