The band facility that they are in now was renovated just a couple of years ago. I am told that it is nice and that it is big enough to handle all that they need to do. A brand new facility on Campus would be great. The B&GMM has stepped up for A&T, now it is time for A&T to step up for the B&GMM!!

Hey bigboy, let me set the record straight...the current A&T band facility is a warehouse! It's bigger than the other warehouse across the street they were in a few years ago but it's still a warehouse! The acustic are awful. On top of that problem there are no private practice rooms or sound-proof rooms. The drummers on most days have to practice outside because there's no sound-proof room for them.
Let me explain the problem with a sports example...say you have a swim team and your swim facility is a small above ground plastic pool. The swimmers get wet and paddle around but they aren't able to swim laps to build their skills. That's the problem with the current band warehouse...it has limitations. The A&T band has performed great despite the poor facilities. Let's keep them in mînd when we are planning new facilities.

So to put us back on topic: Updated Student Union PresentationHere is the updated Design & Construction Report that was presented to the Chancellor. Construction starts September 2014 and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the project.

We've been told that Summer 2014 we will start to see action. As of now construction should be completed by 2017 For more information, you should contact the Director of the Memorial Student Union.

Thanks for the update. Man the new health facility is a long way from that little house we use to have.

When will they start work on the convocation center? Will they build at the old post office site?

Me too! I don't think that's on the drawing board yet. Also, I think The United House of Prayer For All People owns the old post office land.
