Large Performing Arts Facility Posted on October 9th, 2009 by Barb Larson Taylor

Recommendation from the Faith Task Force:

Construct a separate space designed specifically for large music performances and/or speakers who require multi-media technology.

Additional explanation:

Christ Chapel as a performance space should not be considered a permanent solution to the need for a large scale concert hall/performance space on the campus because using Christ Chapel as public space can create dilemmas for some in the Christian community who hold this to be only sacred space for worship.

This recommendation was placed in the Tangible Resources Strategic Framework Substantive Category using the language:

Expand and renovate the Schaefer Fine Arts Buildings for Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, and Dance including the addition of a performing arts venue with multi-media capabilities to be used for major concerts and lectures.

This recommendation was placed is Tier 2 and is being monitored by the Provost and Dean of the College.
