Chen said office and meeting spaces will be moved into the parlor on the western side of the building during construction. She said the spaces will be moved back to the renovated sections of the building before school starts in September.

Oliver Radford and Stephen Perry, who oversaw last summer's Harvard Hall renovation project, will direct the building's renovation.

Chen said that Phillips Brooks House's endowment allocates about $90,000 for the renovation, and that most of the money will go towards paying the architects.

Phillips Brooks House, which was most recently renovated about 15 years ago, celebrated its 100th anniversary on Jan. 23.

PBHA, a student organization, has occupied the building since its formation in 1904.
