Berkeley College rededicated
Talks, tours and a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the Sept. 29 rededication of Berkeley College, which now boasts a refurbished interior and exterior. Just a few of the changes that took place during the 15-month renovation were the replacement or restoration of nearly 2,000 leaded glass windows; the addition of access ramps and entries for people with disabilities; and the relocation of the college's kitchen to the basement, which now also features several spaces for student activities.
