In October 2006,the Dickey Center moved into new quarters at the recently constructed Haldeman Center, together with the Leslie Center for the Humanities and the Ethics Institute. The new building provides the spacious McCulloch suite of staff offices, space for visiting fellows, reception and meeting areas, as well as the Straus seminar and conference rooms, the Kreindler conference center, the Loo lounge, the Russo reception gallery and a library donated by the Class of 1957 as its 50-year gift to Dartmouth College.
The dedicated conference spaces will allow the Dickey Center to convene more international conferences like the September 2005 centennial commemoration of the Portsmouth Treaty brokered by the United States that ended the Russo-Japanese War.
In building upon the legacy of John Sloan Dickey and expanding its presence on the campus, the Dickey Center remains faithful to this wisdom shared with Dartmouth students, returning war veterans among them, in 1946. "I hope," John Sloan Dickey said, "whatever else you have already learned in war or may learn here in peace, that when the time comes you will leave the College understanding two things about the world; first, that the world's troubles are your troubles, even though the converse may often seem to you not to be true; and, secondly, that the world 's worst troubles come from within [us] and there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix."
