The scaffolding is down, and the Institute is slowly emerging from its plastic cocoon. Give us a few weeks to dust thoroughly and to return everything to its proper place. Then stop by to say hello. It will be so nice to have contact with the outside world again. We appreciate the upgrade to the HVAC system, and we would like to thank everyone involved in making that possible as well as our stalwart staff who worked amid the disruption. In this series of photographs Graphics Manager Frank A. Reynolds pulls back the plastic to reveal the Institute we know and love.
