2013  Upgrade the acoustic improvements to the Rehearsal Hall.

 

2003  The renovations to the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center were designed to improve the function and appearance of the facility originally constructed in the 1970s. The flyloft was extended an additional ten feet in height allowing the installation of a new gridiron and stage rigging system. House lighting and acoustics were updated as well as the orchestra shell and sound system.  Mechanical equipment was replaced with an emphasis on addressing the need to reduce noise from air flow. Aesthetic improvements included the complete renovation of the Main Lobby including restrooms, box office, green room, and office areas. A new classroom/theater was created and numerous accessibility problems were addressed. The project also included extensive asbestos abatement and the installation of a sprinkler system in the entire facility.  Work on the building was carefully phased in order to maintain the operation of the facility for academic purposes.
