Later Years
Between April 1996 and August 1998, the university untertook a massive renovation of Sage Hall, at the cost of $38 million, to convert the building into the new home for the Johnson Graduate School of Management. The top segment of the building's iconic spire that had been removed years before was rebuilt. A glass ceiling was constructed over the inner courtyard changing it into an atrium. The design of that space was influenced by the main exhibition hall at the Oxford University Museum. Interestingly, Babcock's original design of Sage Hall had been influenced by that same museum's design.

“Poor Poe! At first so forgotten that his grave went without a tomb-stone twenty-six years ... today in danger of becoming the life study of a few professors.”

The slow result of Life’s decay,
To be once more a little child
For one bright summer-day.”
