Drama Building
A new drama education building is
being planned for the University. Completion
of the new facility is tentatively scheduled for
the fall of 1973.
The new facility will be located on Carr's Hill
as part of the new fine arts complex. The first
phase of this complex was completed with the
construction of the architecture school
building.
Included in this new drama department
building are shops, stage production
laboratories, classroom and office space. To
overcome the problems in presenting a play at
Minor Hall a stage and 600 seat auditorium are
also planned.
Bids were submitted by nine construction
companies and ranged from a low of
$2,373,024 to a high of $2,859,079. The low
bid was placed by R.E. Lee and Son Inc. of
Charlottesville last Thursday.
University officials say they hope to award
the contract for the project within 30 days so
that construction may begin as soon as possible.
