LAKESIDE NEWS FROM THE SPIRESA NOTE FROM OUR TEAMGreetings from The Spires team! Can you feel it? Spring is certainly in the air! This is one of my favorite seasons in Rome, and the Berry College campus is alive with all that spring brings— warmer breezes, budding flowers and an abundance of wildlife. ![]() However, the dogwoods and cherry blossoms are not the only things blossoming right now. Construction is well under way, and we wake each morning to see new and exciting progress happening right before our eyes! It’s always our goal to keep you informed and up-to-date on all of the fun and exciting progress and events happening at The Spires at Berry College. We hope that you’ll come by the Info Center and let us treat you to a cup of coffee and get to know you! Our office is a lively place and you’re likely to bump into someone you know as they stop in to talk with us about our Moving Station program that simplifies the moving process or as they make decisions regarding the personalization of their future homes. We’d love to have you join us as we picnic and tour Martha Berry’s House o' Dreams on April 30th, or join us for a future Lunch & Learn. Sincerely, Monika Lawrence, ![]() CONSTRUCTION UPDATEDespite more than 30 days of rain, construction at The Spires is going well. You may have driven past the construction site over the past few weeks and noticed that the roof is on a portion of Building 1. In addition to quite a bit of framing work, the construction pads on the Health Care Building and Building 2 are currently being prepared. Next up will be the Long Leaf Lodge. The Cottage sites will be poured later this spring once some additional site work is completed. A viewing platform is available at the construction site to get a closer look at progress. If you are interested in setting up your visit, please contact the Information Center today at 706-368-9955.
