Texas State University is working on a plan to build a new music building on campus. Bobcat Update's Kyle Findley has the story.

Texas State's School of Music has been in the same building since 19-81. The structure has changed very little since. In the planning stages is a new building for the music school, to be constructed between now and 20-27. The plan is to provide space next to the university's Performing Arts Center. The goal is to have music, dance and theater -- all in the same area -- for easier access to students. The current music building is seen by many students as outdated and in need of change. The classrooms are too small, and there aren't enough practice rooms

When it's built, the new 129-thousand square-foot-facility would house new classrooms and expand rehearsal space for students.

The director of music, Thomas Clark, says students in his school will be able to prosper no matter where they take their classes.

There's hope the proposed music building, to be built next to the performing arts center, will open in the next eight years. For Bobcat Update, I'm Kyle Findley.
