Students Move in to Maseeh Hall
The building formerly known as Ashdown House—and before that as Graduate House, and before that as the Riverbank Court Hotel—officially reopened in September as Fariborz Maseeh Hall.

The Howard Dining Hall and other views of Maseeh Hall can be seen at technologyreview.com/maseeh.
