Sneak Peak of Other Construction Projects Preparing to Bid Soon . . .
Music and Speech Center Renovations and Additions - Roe Green Center
The Music and Speech Center will be renovated and additions will be built to address space and program needs for the School of Theatre and Dance. One addition will provide a new lobby and black box experimental theatre on the Theatre Drive face of the building; this will also provide an enhanced entry area for students and event patrons. To be constructed on the west side of the building, another addition will provide three new dance studios and support space to relocate the Dance Program out of the Gym Annex. Underground utility relocations and foundation work are well underway. Within the next several weeks, the structural steel contract should be awarded. The final bid package C will be issued this fall to construct the remainder of this project.
