Transformations: From Athletics
to the Arts
The Campaign to Preserve the Frank Thompson Building
“At NC State, we provide our
students with a well-rounded, cross-disciplinary education,
teaching them to be creative and innovative thinkers in
a rapidly changing world. The arts play a vital role in
that experience, demonstrating that passion and creativity
are essential to all fields of learning. Our university
has grown dramatically over the decades, and the resources
and facilities for our extraordinary arts programs are
stretched thin. The creation of a state-of-the-art center
where theatre, dance and crafts can flourish is critical
to the future of ARTS NC STATE. By transforming the cherished
Thompson Building — which has meant so much to the
lives of former students — we honor our past while
serving current and future generations of NC State students."
—Chancellor James L. Oblinger
Video Walkthrough from late October posted
The Frank Thompson Building is scheduled to be completed in early 2009. The Crafts Center and University Theatre will then begin moving back into the building. Look for a grand opening Extravaganza in fall of 2009!
