Conserving the conservatory

The conservatory section of the College greenhouses is undergoing a complete renovation this spring and summer. New wood and iron pieces will replace rotted and rusted parts, plumbing and heating systems will be modernized, and the structure will be fitted with new glass and repainted. Renovations to the conservatory, which is believed to have been built in 1899, are expected to continue at least through August.
