The Arts District Project
A new home for the School of Music
Bold and innovative, Ohio State’s Arts District seeks to spark imagination and inspiration across the creative disciplines. As part of this transformative facilities project, construction is underway for a renovated and expanded School of Music, which will include new rehearsal spaces, modern recital halls, updated classrooms and practice rooms, and a central atrium. This new facility is an investment in our future performers, music educators, conductors and scholars. To learn more and join us in elevating the arts at Ohio State, visit go.osu.edu/artsdistrict.
