Austin ISD ‘fine’ $40M performing arts center

AUSTIN – The 68,000-sf Austin Independent School District Performing Arts Center is under construction at the corner of Barbara Jordan Blvd. and Mueller Blvd. in East Austin. The 1,200-seat auditorium will open in mid-November.

The center, which has a budgeted cost of $40 million, is expected to come in below budget. A 440-car garage will be adjacent to the main building.

It will have a grand opening on January 22, 2015, and is already booked until the middle of 2015.
