The much anticipated Performing Arts Center at Texas State is nearing completion. The new center  will house a 400-seat theater, a 300-seat recital hall, a grand lobby, rehearsal space, classrooms, staging areas and a scenery shop. The recital hall will host student and faculty performances and national touring artists. JaffeHolden Acoustics is in charge of tuning the hall for optimal sound. Twelve large sound-absorbing curtains will be used to expand or contract the amount of resonant space. The Performing Arts Center is set to open in early spring.
