Alcock, Gallagher, and Tuttle houses will each be moved over a three-week span, with one building moved each week 500\u2019 across campus to its new foundation. Moving the buildings, which each weigh in excess of 1,000 tons and measure 37\u2019 wide by 102\u2019 long by 35\u2019 tall, will be an engineering marvel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goucher will move Froelicher Hall this
