Williams Complexes Redefine Living Spaces at Greylock Halls
Williams Professor lauds the Greylock houses for their horizontal massing and modular yet varied design. Four residential blocks feature ground floor public rooms and quads of four sleeping/study rooms with shared lounges, two larger singles, and a communal bath. The central, open commons and soaring coffered slabs create expansive interior spaces linked to an exterior arcade and classrooms. The design blends brick walls with vast glass, offering a bold, living architecture that will mature with use by Williams undergraduates.

Johnson rent supplements aim to spur housing not handouts
The plan would send rent subsidies to sponsoring nonprofit groups or builders rather than to families. Payments fund new housing for slum areas, the displaced, and some elderly, with subsidies varying by family income. Sponsors would receive ongoing support until mortgages are paid, promoting jobs and controlled federal spending of 200 million dollars in four years.
