"Yale's Egyptology program may not yet have a large presence on campus, but it will soon have a home overseas as construction continues on the Yale Institute in Egypt.
Construction of the many components of the institute - which will be spread across various sites west of the Nile River - began last year and is now picking up pace. Egyptologist John Darnell said living spaces, storage work spaces and expedition headquarters to be used during fieldwork will be built in the western desert region of Egypt by the end of this academic year. He said the institute also hopes to soon open offices in Cairo and Luxor. The other major component of the program's growth will be the expansion of the institute's Web site to include scholarly accounts of fieldwork in Egypt, Darnell said. . . . Darnell brought his two projects - the Theben Desert Roads Survey and the Toshka Desert Survey - to Yale when he came to the University from the University of Chicago in 1998".
