Christian boarding school in Bullard, Texas, breaks ground on fine arts center and chapel

A Christian boarding school in Bullard, Texas, has broken ground on a new fine arts center and chapel. 

The Brook Hill School is building the Soules Center for the Fine and Performing Arts to complete the quadrangle at its Middle and Upper School campus, reports The Tyler Morning Telegraph. 

The new facility will have classrooms for vocal, instrumental, dramatic, visual arts instruction, and an auditorium and stage with lighting and sound equipment. The 700-seat auditorium will also serve as a space for weekly chapel services.

The school has received more than $28.8 million in donations and pledges to pay for the center and other school facility projects.

The projects at the school include a new lower-school playground, eight lighted tennis courts, renovations to the lower school library, the expansion of Ornelas Hall, upgrades to the residential life facilities, enhancements to the upper school science labs, as well as improvements to campus security, athletic facilities, and campus infrastructure.
