After doing a partial renovation of Calhoun College, one of its residential colleges, in the summer of 1989, Yale realized that renovating was much more complicated than expected. And so, it was back to the drawing board for the community college. The resulting 15-month renovations of each residential college was the solutions, and Yale is now on its ninth project, the reconstruction of Jonathan Edwards College...
