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.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
With a king’s son my childish years did pass
In greater feast than Priam’s sons of Troy?
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“Seventy years have I lived
No ragged beggar man,
Seventy years have I lived,
Seventy years man and boy,
And never have I danced for joy.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
