May Auditorium has been getting a major facelift this summer. The steps and rows of seats will be on a more gradual incline and a new lounge area at the entrance to the Auditorium on the lower level of Simon Hall will accommodate visitors, receptions and networking events.

Demolition started the day after graduation in the eastern half of Simon Hall and construction workers have been hustling all summer long to complete renovations in time for the start of classes in August. See the transformation of May Auditorium in this video just weeks away from completion.

Thanks to the Tarlton team for letting us record this behind the scenes preview.
