NEWS: ARTS DISTRICT

The Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts is substantially complete with construction, meaning only final touchups are being made as the facility is now open for programming.

Crews are in the home stretch of construction on the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts building, the final step on completing the Arts District. Work is about 95% complete and is on track to open for programming by this Fall as tenants have already started moving in. Crews are finalizing theatrical finishes and completing punch lists.

The construction finish line is in sight for the Department of Theatre, Film and Media Arts building. While the Timashev Family Music Building opened in March 2022, the Department of Theatre, Film and Media Arts building is on track for a March 2023 opening.

The Lantern took readers on a tour of the new Timashev Family Music building with the help of Michael Ibrahim, director of Ohio State's School of Music.

It’s one down, and one to go for construction crews working on Ohio State’s Arts District. The Timashev Family Music Building opened for classes in August 2022, while the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts is creeping closer to an expected February 2023 opening.
