The University of Texas at Dallas has reached two major milestones in its 12-acre cultural development: the grand opening of the Crow Museum of Asian Art and the groundbreaking of a new performance hall and music building. This facility will house a 680-seat concert hall, rehearsal spaces, a recording studio, and classrooms. Designed in a vineyard-style configuration, the hall will allow audience members to sit on all sides of the stage, creating a more immersive musical experience. The music building will provide a comprehensive environment for both performance and learning, supporting the university's Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology.
