Slideshow: Arts District

    Hanging and painting drywall, pouring terrazzo floors, and finishing exterior curtain walls are among the construction tasks being completed this month at the Timashev Family Music Building. Part of the larger Arts District project, the Timashev Family Music Building is scheduled to be completed by March 2022 with classes and programming available by Autumn 2022. Crews are close to putting the finishing touches on the School of Music’s new home.

    Next door, work continues on the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts. The $165.1 million Arts District is sited between 15th and 18th avenues, and envisions high-quality, modern learning environments for interaction across arts disciplines.
