Construction has begun on the School of Dramatic Arts’ exciting new Drama Center. Great care is being made to substantially reduce the embodied carbon footprint of the construction project and several innovative sustainable strategies are being utilized on this historic building, which was originally built in 1931. The School is excited to welcome alumni, friends and the next generation of artists to this new space, set to open in the ’23-’24 academic year.
