After more than 20 years of being considered for renovations on the Kansas capital improvement project list and after three years of construction, Beach Music Hall repairs are nearly complete.
Beach opens to the public today.
The architect, physical plant staff and music faculty have been attentive to updating the building while preserving its rich heritage. ESU does not sit idly by waiting for our turn to come up through state funds. Marie Miller, division of music chairwoman, moved into Beach Hall Thursday. She said the only problems her department has had with moving back in are related to time constraints because classes start today. Over the past three years, music classes have been held in various buildings and rooms, including Roosevelt Hall, the Memorial Union and South Morse Hall.
