Mountain Lake Echoes - Spring/Summer Newsletter 2009

Winter 2008-09 has been an unusually busy season on the mountain. Mark Larson has been run ragged assisting and overseeing the construction crews busy on our renovation and expansion projects. Despite the appearance that the work is more destruction than construction, renovations seem to be on track for early May completion of the work to most of the residences. In addition to the renovations, other construction efforts this winter involve a new director’s cabin that includes semi-public space for social events and postseminar gatherings. The cabin was designed by Michael Osteen of TEC, in collaboration with preservationists from UVA, and should reflect the aesthetics, historical architecture, and general character of the Station.
