Restoring stained glass windows is like “repairing a painting,” says construction project manager Jacob Mycofsky, who has supervised a five-year effort to repair and restore windows in the Burns and Bapst Libraries. Many of them were removed and taken to a studio where they were disassembled, cleaned, treated, and rebuilt, using the original glass panes. Above, Fernando Carmona, a stained glass restoration artist, works on July 11, resealing the lead of a window left in place in the Burns Library trustee board room. The undertaking is one of this summer’s 54 projects to repair and restore the University’s $1 billion worth of buildings and facilities. Activities include renovating laboratory space in the Merkert Chemistry Center; upgrading classroom space in Carney, Devlin, Fulton, Gasson, Higgins, and Lyons Halls; installing artificial turf at the Newton Campus soccer field; removing an underground gasoline storage tank behind St. Mary’s Hall; and waterproofing the area above the luxury boxes at Alumni Stadium. All work is scheduled to be complete by August 29, the Friday prior to the beginning of classes on September 2.
