Ball State University. Muncie, IN 47306. Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action . Shown is an artist's rendering of the Riverside Avenue view of the planned Music Instruction Building. The capital project was recently approved by the state Legislature.
Construction is scheduled to begin in late fall.
Construction will be complete in summer 2003. One of the building s most notable features will be a performance hall with special sound chambers in the walls and ceiling that can be opened or closed to adjust the acoustics for different types of performances. Sliding doors on the chambers can be opened to provide greater sound volume for larger, louder groups such as bands and jazz ensembles, or closed for soloists and small ensembles. You get much more volume of space where the sound can interact. Almost everything aside from the very largest productions could be done there.
