The glass-and-steel pavilion that held the Liberty Bell until last year is moving from Independence National Historical Park to an insurance college in the Philadelphia suburbs.

The pavilion, designed in 1976, is considered one of the finest works of architect Romaldo Giurgola. The U.S. General Services Administration selected the college because of its proximity to Philadelphia and its connection to Giurgola, who laid out the campus and designed its three main buildings.
