Construction on schedule, Com Arts Center under roof

Wilmore, KY—In addition to the roof deck, crews have started to lay bricks throughout the exterior of the facility and have jib board on metal studs. Conduit and plumbing are being installed and floor slabs are nearing 80 percent completion.

Once complete, the facility will house a 6,050 square-foot television studio, a 5,122 square-foot blackbox theatre, a convergence newsroom, and a sound stage for film that is modeled after 20th Century Fox’s studios in Hollywood. This facility will accompany the recently constructed 40-foot mobile high-definition TV production trailer.

When students and faculty move into the Center for Communication Arts, they will be equipped for the collaboration of media and enabled to work together cohesively. The new building will better prepare students in studio and classroom environments that reflect the standards of the high-demand communications industries.
