A Texas State residence hall is being torn down -- after more than four decades
of use. Ty Bishop has more in this Bobcat Update.

Many who lived in Falls Hall have fond memories of their stay there. Some showed
up Monday, along with current residents, when Texas State President Denise
Trauth and the Division of Student Affairs had a so-called decommissioning
ceremony. A-S-G President Mel Ferrari says that Falls Hall will always have a
place in her heart.

The hall, which was opened in 1967, is being torn down to build a Performing
Arts Center that will hold a recital hall and a theater center. The Performing
Arts Center, also known as PAC (pack), will cost 83-(M)illion-dollars to
construct. The new center will hold 300 people in its recital hall, and 400
people in its theatre. Vice President of Student Affairs, Joanne Smith, says
that the center is needed.

Standup:
The ceremonial ground breaking for PAC is planned for June 3rd. University
officials say the building should be completed by September 2013. For Bobcat
