What happened to the stained glass window in the old student center after the recent renovations? - Becca Volk, AE 21, MS AE 24

The central panes of the Spirit of Tech stained glass window were relocated after the renovations to the Institute’s library archives, where they remain in storage today. The archives protect and preserve Tech history for future generations of Yellow Jackets. The window was designed in 1985 by award-winning stained glass artist Seranda Vespermann and fabricated by her son, Christopher Vespermann.
