New facilities for the School of Music and the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts mark the highlights of Ohio State University s Arts District. The new Timashev Family Music Building will connect to a renovated Weigel Hall and feature a 195-seat recital room. Other improvements include better acoustics, studios for jazz and percussion, and more practice rooms for students. The new Theatre, Film, and Media Arts building will have state-of-the-art performance and creative spaces. It ll bring performances to the Arts District rather than the Drake Center, a good 20 to 30 minute walk away. Sergio Soave, Associate Executive Dean of Facilities and Planning for Ohio State s College of Arts and Sciences, has been working on the Arts District project for six years.
