Brown Auditorium received some much needed work to improve the building’s overall appearance. Brian Thorn, head of the Physical Plant, said the changes are more cosmetic than anything else.
“I really wouldn’t classify the work being done in Brown Auditorium as a renovation,” Thorn said. “We made some cosmetic improvements that it has needed for a while. We had the resources and a window of opportunity to get the work done.”
The work is limited to interior painting, changing out the carpet and minor repair of the building systems.
Betsy Lowe, a sophomore vocal performance major from Winnsboro and a member of the ULM Concert Choir, said she feels safer performing in Brown now.
“It’s nice to a have cleaner safer environment,” she said. Thorn also mentioned that a total renovation of Brown Auditorium is on their Capital Outlay project list, but work will not begin until the state can fund it.
