The Floren Varsity House is the latest addition among new and renovated facilities that serve hundreds of student-athletes who represent Dartmouth on 35 varsity athletic teams as well as the many hundreds more who participate in club sports, recreation fitness and intramural activities.
The $19.5 million Floren Varsity House has been made possible through the leadership gift of Douglas C. Floren '63 and his family, as well as the support of many other members of the Dartmouth family whose generosity has made possible a facility that is second to none in the Ivy League and beyond.
