LGBT
Center Opening at the Carriage House
Penn--s
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Center will celebrate its
new home at the Carriage House and its 20th anniversary, on Thursday,
September 26, 3:30-5:30 p.m. with the ribbon cutting at 4 p.m. and
remarks by President Judith Rodin; Robert Schoenberg, director of
the Center; and Vincent Griski, one of the donors who made this
possible (Almanac October 24, 2000).
Established in 1982, the LGBT Center was one of the first of its
kind in the country. Since its inception, it has provided a variety
of support services for the University--s lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender community.
The
renovation of the Carriage House and the move of the LGBT Center
were made possible by a generous $2 million gift from David Goodhand,
C--85, and Vincent Griski, W--85 and donations from many
other alumni and friends. Belmont Freeman Architects of New York
(Monty Freeman, GSFA --76) completed the renovation and restoration
of the exterior of the building. Many of the building interior--s
original features, such as overhead beams and hardwood floors have
been retained. Located at 3907 Spruce Street, the Carriage House
features a reception room, a multi-purpose room, the Kaplan-Perry
Library (above), as well as offices and a student activities area.
