Touring Turner Theatre with Dean Parsons

As most of campus prepared for the university’s Commencement ceremonies last week, construction crews were busy inside the walls of Dwight C. Schar Hall. Always the inquisitive journalist, Dean Paul Parsons noticed a concrete truck on site on May 20. Accompanied by the construction superintendent, Parsons toured the facility, taking a closer look at the recently poured risers in Turner Theatre – see the image above.

The two above images provide an updated look at Snow Family Grand Atrium. The left image looks out toward the historic part of campus, while the right faces the entrance of Schar Hall and Turner Theatre. At right, this photograph highlights the new dean’s suite in Schar Hall, which faces out toward Lebanon Avenue and the train tracks. The entrance to the dean’s office can be seen on the far left.
