Introducing Renaissance Hall!
Renaissance Hall was introduced to the BB&N community during a sun-soaked Opening Doors ceremony held in the Upper School's magnificent new courtyard on September 29. In a day that featured student art displays, trumpeters, homecoming games, and mini-classroom sessions for visitors, the new building stole the show as alumni/ae and parents took in the state-of-the-art facility.
 Head of School Rebecca T. Upham and a group of people integral to the building's creation - former Board Chair Steve Woodsum, current Board Chair Laura Hodges Taylor '74, campaign chair Gary Gut, former trustee Plant Committee Chair Rick Kobus, Upper School Director Jack Knapp, Asst. Head for Operations Thom Greenlaw, Centerbrook Architects Principal Jim Childress, William A. Berry Construction CEO Peter Campot, Senior Class President Leslie Ahlstrand '08, and Student Council President Paul Mannix - presided over the ceremonial ribbon cutting that officially welcomed Renaissance Hall into the School community.
“I can't imagine a more glorious celebration than this one here today," said Woodsum. "So many people have come up to me over the past few weeks to say how dramatically this building has transformed the life of this School."
The building's name was the result of a community-wide competition and vote that took place in September. More than 1,400 votes were cast, with Renaissance Hall being the top choice of students, parents, and faculty.
