PepsiCo renovations will shut popular sculpture garden until 2015

"Art-lovers, sculpture-philes and people who simply enjoy a midday stroll among beautiful objects are - temporarily - losing their Eden. Beginning Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012 the sculpture garden at PepsiCo's Purchase headquarters will close while the soda-and-snack giant renovates its corporate offices and grounds. A notice posted at the entrance of the corporate campus notes that the "grounds and garden will remain closed during the construction until mid-late 2015." The massive renovation project is expected to cost $243 million.
