Karl Burrelsman, project manager, said ESSB is actually three buildings.

“Classrooms and offices for the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education and the Koegel Autism Center will occupy one of the buildings. Classrooms and offices for the College of Letters and Science will occupy another. The third building, named the Pollock Theater, will be used by the Carsey-Wolf Center for Film Television and New Media,” he said. Pollock Theater will seat about 300 people.

The roughly $102 million project is anticipated to be complete by mid-2009. Parking is available at the recently completed parking structure near the Events Center, as well as the not-so-near Mesa structure. Signs will be posted if any of the work affects foot or auto traffic.
