Matt Kempner of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on a new senior retirement complex, "Georgia college invites elderly to retire on campus." Kempner interviewed campus administrators and students at Berry College for the article and notes that the "...college also provided seed funding for the complex, which will offer independent and assisted living housing, as well as a nursing care facility."
Berry College traces its roots to the founding by Martha Berry in 1902 when she founded a school for boys in rural Georgia. A program for girls was added in 1909. A junior college program was offered in 1926 and a baccalaureate program after 1930.
Berry College is also known for student work experiences and student operated enterprises. The senior retirement facility will offer opportunities for student employment. The college enrolls 2,110 students.
