The project is one aspect of the college\u2019s comprehensive campus plan, which is a flexible framework designed to guide priorities for development and investment in campus spaces. The new building is expected to be completed in 2027. Some notable features of the project include: additional on-campus housing with no plans for increasing enrollment, memorable and distinctive architecture that reflects and enhances its Grand Avenue location, geothermal technology, rooftop solar &amp; stormwater retention that will help Macalester move closer to carbon neutrality, and a small retail space for a coffee shop.

First created about five years ago, this program established a handbook for the people on your block who coordinate the alley plowing, welcome the new neighbors, plan the block parties and generally keep you informed of what is happening around you. These are your Block Ambassadors. <a href=\"https:\/\/macgrove.org\/block-clubs\/\">The handbook<\/a> is a great resource that is full of ideas and how to be a great neighborhood! By signing up as a Block Ambassador, it enables better communication between the Community, the City and the neighbors on your block!<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"link-group block-container\" >\n            <div class=\"link-group__heading-row\">\n            <div class=\"link-group__heading-container\">\n                <h2 class=\"base-lockup__heading\">Quick Links<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"link-group__featured-row\">\n        <div class=\"link-group__featured-inner\">\n            <div class=\"link-group__featured-inner-inner\">\n                <ul class=\"link-group__featured-link\">\n                                            <li class=\"link-group__link-item\">\n                            <a class=\"base-cta-featured\" href=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/macalester.edu\/forms\/d\/1kIK5_hbdC2mVUXZtIjtjInUo_BL_fOBbcz46QINETho\/viewform\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    Campus Event Newsletter for Mac Neighbors\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"base-symbol base-cta-featured__arrow\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <use xlink:href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/macalester-2020\/dist\/svgs\/symbol-arrow.svg#icon\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n                        <\/li>\n                                            <li class=\"link-group__link-item\">\n                            <a class=\"base-cta-featured\" href=\"http:\/\/macalester.edu\/highwinds\/do-you-glow-in-the-dark\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    Do You Glow in the Dark?
