Project Overview
This project addresses the demand for enrollment in the Performing Arts programs by constructing a new complex that will combine music, drama, theater arts, and communication programs into a single facility. The new building will replace outdated facilities with electrical deficiencies and outmoded configurations. The new structure will take advantage of the potential use of commonly required spaces to improve overall utilization and flexible spaces that help programs in meeting higher demands anticipated in the near future.
