$110 Million Prior Performing Arts Center Opens
Members of the campus and local communities toured the new Prior Performing Arts Center during a Community Day held on Sept. 24. It provided visitors with their first look inside the new $110 million academic building and performance venue. The event featured music and dance performances and theater open rehearsals, as well as the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, “Afterimage: Visual Arts Faculty 2022.” Visitors toured all three floors of the 84,000 square-foot building, from production spaces and rehearsal rooms to the 400-seat Luth Concert Hall. The building opened to classes at the beginning of the academic year.
