Carleton has selected the Pegasus Group to provide owner representative and project management services and the McGough Companies as the construction manager and general contractor for the Collaboratory project, the site of the former Northfield middle school. Both firms are based in St. Paul, Minn.
The Pegasus Group’s expertise is working with higher education institutions on large capital projects. Among their clients are Creighton University, Quinnipiac University and Catholic University. Members of the Pegasus Group also hold previous experience on projects at the University of Minnesota, including Coffman Memorial Student Union, the Studio Arts Building and Ridder Arena/Baseline Tennis Facility.
The McGough Companies previously worked on the townhouse student housing project at Carleton, completed in 2001, along with work on Olin Hall and the Gould Library expansion. McGough has significant experience in working with other higher education institutions in the state, including the University of St. Thomas, Hamline University, Macalester College and the University of Minnesota. They served as the contractor for the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts and the recently completed Guthrie Theater.
These two groups join the firm of Meyer Scherer & Rockcastle LTD (MS&R), which was selected as the architect for the Collaboratory project in early June.Steam Plant Shutdown
The annual steam shutdown is scheduled August 11 through 16. There will not be hot water in restrooms or kitchens throughout campus during the shutdown. For this reason, all food services and athletic facilities will be closed all week. The central air conditioning system and all other utilities will remain in operation. Please call Kirk Campbell at x4460 if you have questions.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game!
Carleton College will be sponsoring the St. Paul Saints baseball game on Friday, July 27, at 7 p.m., at Midway Stadium. It will be Carleton Knights Night with a medieval theme, and Carleton College will be highlighted throughout the game by the public address announcer. We have a limited number of reserved seat tickets that are offered at cost ($10) on campus and to alumni in the area. The tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis from the Alumni Affairs Office. If you've ever been to a Saints game, you know how much fun it can be. Reserve this date on your calendar and get your tickets now. We'd love to see a big Carleton crowd when the St. Paul Saints take on the Sioux City Explorers.

David Pape, former manager of publications and assistant to the director of public relations for the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been named Carleton College’s sports information director.
Pape spent the last nine years with Major League Baseball’s Diamondbacks, working in their public relations department. For the past nine months he's served as manager of publications for the club, helping them redesign their monthly magazine and game programs, along with numerous other responsibilities. Previous to that move, he worked as assistant to the director of public relations for the club for eight years, working all angles of media and public relations within the organization. Before joining the parent club, Pape worked for the Diamondbacks’ minor-league club, the High Desert Mavericks, leading up to the big league club's 1998 debut.
A 1997 graduate of Luther College (Iowa), Pape worked in the sports information office there for three years, was the sports editor of the school newspaper, and supervised athletic event student workers. He will be joined in his move to Carleton by his wife, Bonnie, and their new daughter, Hannah. He will begin his responsibilities at Carleton on July 30.
“We are very excited to have Dave join our media and public relations team at Carleton and I know he will make the transition to this position seamlessly,” said Eric Sieger, Carleton’s director of media and public relations. “He's very excited to work with all of our programs and coaches here at the College.” Pape replaces Sieger, who was promoted after serving as Carleton’s sports information director since September 2000.
