Phil owes his first
introduction to Dartmouth College due to the scheduling
challenges presenting themselves to the Facilities
Planning Office (FPO), now named The Office of Planning
Design & Construction. Forty year Dartmouth veteran Gordy
DeWitt was the director of that office at the time, with
Reed Bergwall at his right hand managing the major
capital projects.
As development at the college began to
increase past the capacity that Reed could handle
effectively, he was introduced to PML Project
Management. By outsourcing this proposed project at the
East Wheelock Cluster residence halls to PML, FPO was
able to maintain the quality level that bespeaks
Dartmouth College, keep the tough schedules that the
academic calendar demands, and satisfy the required
capital improvement plans that the school was engaged
in.

Architects from Philadelphia designed this 80 bed
residence hall, the coveted place to be
at the east end of the campus. |

North Branch Construction from
Concord, New Hampshire performed in their exemplary
manner, meeting the schedule, keeping below the budget,
and providing the quality level Dartmouth demands of
its’ project teams. This is a project the entire team is
proud to tout our involvement in.
A noteworthy accomplishment realized on
the McCulloch Hall project, one that is seldom noticed
by those outside the construction industry, PML worked
closely with Vermont Inspection Services to share the
construction monitoring responsibility, thereby saving
the college 2/3 of the inspection service cost.
