The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is carrying out a $75 million renovation and expansion of the Westbrook Music Building.
The building, home to the Glenn Korff School of Music, will consist of a mix of existing space and new construction. The southwest wing of the existing building will connect to about 75,000 square feet of new construction, the university says in a news release.
School officials determined that renovating and adding new construction was the most cost-effective way to upgrade facilities.
The construction will occur in phases. As new portions of the building are completed, existing portions will be removed or renovated. When the north part of the existing building is taken down, it will leave space for additional green space attached to the arts quad.
Construction is scheduled to begin Dec. 19 and completion is set for spring 2025.
