New $40 million music building planned at University of Memphis
http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/...ed-at.html
"At more than 40,000-square feet, the facility, which will be located on Central Avenue near the University of Memphis Holiday Inn, will be twice as large as the current building that houses the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music.
It will include a 1,200-seat performance hall, a stage and the latest audio and acoustic technology. ... The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music offers bachelor’s through doctoral degrees in 29 areas of concentration, and offers the only doctoral program in music in Tennessee. More than 400 students from around the country and from more than 24 countries are currently enrolled in the school.
In late June, the University of Memphis announced plans for a $62 million recreation and fitness center on campus..."

RE: New $40 million music building planned at University of Memphis
The master plan definitely had it on Watauga. Wonder what changed, what will go there now, and if the property acquisition is simply going too slowly.
I know that at one point Watauga was supposed to be the "grand entrance" to the University off of Highland, I wonder if that is still in the cards.

Guess the music building will take the place of the proposed parking garage next to holiday inn in the master plan.

Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel - what's not to like?

This is good news, but will the performance hall compete with Rose?

I doubt it. The acoustic are horrible in Rose. The majority of the concerts was being held in Harris.

Rose's renovations are more along the lines of just keeping up with the times & getting new paint, etc. Most of the events held there are outside people coming in to rent the facility as well, not just student events.

I've never heard anything deviating from the Watauga location....part of me wonders if this reporter got his wires crossed about where the current music building is & where the new one will be.
