Fine Arts Building to undergo renovations to meet influx of music and art students

To address a growing number of art and music students at Mason, the College of Visual and Performing Arts will be renovating the Fine Arts Building to address the lack of classrooms and practice space.

While construction is underway, classes will be moved to different buildings across campus.

“What we have done as a college is a lot of music classes have moved to the arts building,” said Dan Hobson, production manager for the College of Visual and Performing Arts. “We were able to house 75 percent of classes that were moved.”

Thompson Hall now reopened, equipped with new classroom technology

Thompson Hall reopened at the start of the spring semester, debuting new classroom technology that developers say will improve the functionality of the building. The building had been closed since June 2010 for renovations.
