The Timashev Family Music Building, within a newly envisioned Arts District, is slated to open in less than one year and construction progress is notable – including exterior masonry and facade work as the project team approaches its next major milestone of building enclosure. The district, sited between 15th and 18th avenues, envisions high-quality, modern learning environments for interaction across arts disciplines. The $165.1 million project includes new facilities for the School of Music (Timashev Family Music Building) and Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts. Current construction activities include:
