CEU’s redevelopment project reached a milestone this month - the highest point of the renewed campus. The CEU and Nador utca neighborhood communities celebrated Dec. 10 in the courtyard known as the Japanese Garden with a traditional Hungarian “topping up” ceremony, in which a tree is set atop the highest point of the building.
