Following 15 months of renovations, during which its exterior was completely refurbished—stones recast, joints repointed, entrances rebuilt—a more energy efficient Gasson Hall reopened in late August. Gasson 100 was renovated and the space that was the Weston Jenks Honors Library was converted to a study oasis named Gasson Commons. (The library will move into the new Stokes Hall, now under construction.) The 98-year-old building, conceived by Boston College’s 13th president (1907–14), Thomas I. Gasson, SJ, was the University’s first building on the Heights.
