Associate Dean Rory Scanlon updates the college and community on the construction of the music building
If you’ve paid a visit to BYU campus recently, you’ve likely noticed the progress being made on the new building for the School of Music. Associate Dean Rory Scanlon offers an update on the construction.
“The construction on the new Music Building is on schedule and running smoothly,” said Scanlon. “Construction began on the Northwest corner of the building, laying in the concrete foundations and adding the first rows of blocks to form the currently tallest section for the Large Ensemble Room. Immediately to the East, the Percussion Suite is also apparent with walls going up quickly. Also visible is the main concrete slab for the entire Northwest corner of the building that will hold the Instrument Repair and Piano Repair shops as well as the student commons area.” The project started on the northwest corner of the building and has involved laying foundations to prepare for the new spaces. “We are grateful for Big D Construction and their professional efforts to keep us on schedule for a Fall 2022 completion of this new building,” said Scanlon. “The college leadership is pleased with all the efforts of their team, the university physical facilities personnel and the campus leadership who are making this incredible new addition a possibility.” Live cameras have been positioned at the site so those interested can follow the building’s progress.
