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! 🎉
