Spencer Performing Arts Center Modernizes Siena Heights University’s Performing Arts Programs
This fall the new Mary M. and Sash A. Spencer Performing Arts Center will take center stage at Siena Heights.
Opening in time to begin the fall 2018 semester, the more than $11 million facility will open students as well as the community to new opportunities in the arts. It features a new theater, music hall, band room, dance studio and modern classroom and office space that has filled a longtime University need.
“The Spencer Performing Arts Center will put us on par with any college or university in the region in regards to performing arts facilities,” said SHU President Sister Peg Albert, OP, PhD. “It was something we considered a top priority for quite some time, and the fact that we were able to build this entirely with private funding is a testament to our alumni and benefactors. We hope this new facility will be used extensively for decades to come.”
