Ever wonder what the support structure of a “sprung” dance floor from the 1960’s looks like?  Here’s the current state of the T7 Rehearsal Hall:

The construction/engineering guy in me finds this fascinating, but the floor isn’t the big story this week.  Check out the walls!  Fresh paint!  And not only in T7, but everywhere.

In fact, a 20 foot Sherwin-Williams panel truck was stationed at the loading dock when I arrived on campus.  Some exploring revealed that painting of the hallways, offices and public areas was not only well underway, but nearing completion.  Add the baseboards and give the floor a good clean/polish and the place will look amazing.

Maybe even bigger news is that the Paul Davis reclamation folks told me that anticipated date for opening up the basement level of the Theatre building is July 6!  Of course, the Mainstage and Scene Shop remain exceptions but it does include the Costume Shop and Prop Shop.  It also includes the faculty offices on that level (mine included, yay!).
