DID YOU HEAR? Fine Arts Center to be renovated The Fine Arts Center, which houses the Department of Music, is going to see some changes thanks to a $3.5 million renovation project. The renovation will shift parts of the building’s current layout to better accommodate the needs of the department and provide a more functional design. “The building originally housed art, music, and theater. Then in the 1990s, it was housing both art and music,” noted Dr. Angela Morgan, chair of the Department of Music. “It has gone through a number of bandage renovations, but this will be the first time that it will have a renovation that is tailor made for music, which is super exciting.” As part of the redesign, a new recital hall will be created. Construction is expected to start at the beginning of next year with a tentative completion date in time for the start of Fall Semester 2019. www.augusta.edu/pamplin | 17
