Berea College’s new Edwards Building forges student connections while paying homage to history

Berea College has worked with Luckett & Farley, a Kentucky-based architecture, engineering and interior design firm, to build a building that is prepared to help students succeed in the future while honoring the historic past of the Edwards Building.

“We are very excited to give appropriate recognition to the Edwards Building in this new replacement building,” said Chad Berry, vice president for Alumni, Communications and Philanthropy at Berea College. “It will be exciting to have a building that resembles Edwards on the outside, but that is modern and functional for students, alumni and friends, and staff on the inside.” 

A time-lapse camera over the site will allow viewers to capture construction as it progresses and have that publicly available. The feed can be found at https://www.berea.college/edwardsbuilding.
