Google Dartmouth

Recently Google sponsored a competition to model your college campus for Google Earth using their new 3-D tool, Google SketchUp. The results are in, and the cool part is Dartmouth is one of the winners. Naturally, I had to check it out:

Well, it is pretty amazing. The detail is very impressive, and being familiar with the area it is really fun to "fly" around and find little places you remember- not to mention look at all the new construction. Particularly impressive are the reflections and curtains in the windows of the River dorms and the Tuck library, the entryway to the HOP and the Hood, and the roofs of AXA and Rollins Chapel. They even have the doors to the Sphinx! Unfortunately, the secret roof club door is not shown, part of the football field appears to be swamped, and both Bartlett Tower and the Frost statue are omitted (although the statue would be near impossible). Anyways, go to the link above, download the .kmz files, and load them into GoogleEarth for yourself and enjoy!
