We are getting a makeover! 🛠️A big thank you

We are getting a makeover! 🛠️A big thank you goes to the @cityofnorthampton ’s ARPA Community Recovery grant program and to our incredible landlord, J. Rockwell (Rocky) Allen of Emerald City Partners, for making ILI’s Building the Future project possible. ⭐️ The renovation will create six larger classrooms, reconfigure and upgrade the HVAC system, provide ADA-compliant restrooms and ADA entry and exit points and build a common space to accommodate cultural events for students and the public. Northampton Mayor @glformayor (above, center) and Rocky (second from left) joined ILI staff, board members and students to mark the beginning phase (deconstruction) of the project. We’ll report on progress in upcoming newsletters and anticipate the renovation will be finished in time to celebrate ILI’s 40th birthday next August! 🎉

Back in 2011, art blogger Jeff Hamada asked people on the internet to recreate their favorite paintings through photograph. The response was incredible! Thousands of people chose their favorite works and made them their own.

ILI students recently did their own recreations as an opportunity to practices two tenses. Check it out! #projectrecreate #ili #studentlife

The renovation work at ILI set off our buildings’ fire alarm. @northamptonfirefighters came to the rescue and Captain Eric Toia is pictured here with some of our students. Thank you Northampton Fire Rescue! 🚒
