Extreme Makeover!
Since August 20, we have begun major construction works to renovate our bathrooms on one of the two student floors in Bernardi. Since over the last few years we have had several bathroom maintenance problems due to the old plumbing system of the building and due to the many student complaints of bad smells coming out of the pipes or various water leaks coming from all different corners of the walls in the bathroom areas, it was eminent at some point to replace everything, particularly the old plumbing system with a new, up-to-date one and give the shower areas on the first floor of the two student floors, an extreme makeover. Plans are also underway for also renovating all the bathrooms on the second floor, which will be another major project to be carried out next summer at the end of our summer program season (around August 20). As you can imagine these types of projects can be quite expensive especially dealing in another currency so any funds we receive from friends and alumni of the programs hosted at the Bernardi Campus as well as from the hundreds of guests we have had over the years, you know that everything will go into making Bernardi an even greater and more comfortable place for many more generations of students and guests to enjoy it while studying and living in the Eternal City.
