On June 16, 2023, the Kennedy Library shut down for renovations leaving students on campus without a go-to study place.
To celebrate the Sept. 15 re-opening, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on Thursday, allowing guests to take self-guided tours and participate in a Q&A session with the artists of the new mural featured in the lobby.
The ribbon-cutting highlighted the new “Grounds for Growth” mural created by local artists, Joshua Lawyer and MJ Lindo-Lawyer. The ceremony, taking place a month after the start of the school year, avoided the large beginning-of-year crowds flooding into the new building.
