MURRAY â Finding ways to preserve the oldest buildings on the Murray State University campus has become a top priority for its administrative officials the past few years.
Where some were not able to be saved in the past, such as the former Ordway Hall and Woods Hall dormitory structures, others have received more attention. Now, one of the most recognized âolderâ buildings on the campus is in line for what is being seen as a badly-needed improvement to its HVAC and electrical system â Lovett Auditorium.
Last week, the universityâs Board of Regents unanimously approved $2 million in funding for an overhaul of those systems that not only is expected to improve the overall health of the building but also will make for a more comfortable experience for audience members during shows and other events.
