We’re entering the home stretch of the spring semester and it’s a crazy-busy time. On tap for April 11-16:

This is the first public event in the new Hall, a fantastic spring dance concert coordinated by Artistic Director Rodney Brown. (Press release) Free. Bring your dance loving and curious friends! (The “premiere performance” in the new Hall isn’t until Sept. 24.)
Percussion Collective and Sinfonia Concert – That same night, Wednesday, on the other side of campus, Dr. Brian Holder is directing the Percussion Collective’s annual spring concert and the debut of Sinfonia, Santa Fe’s new orchestra. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. in the E Auditorium. Free.
Wednesday morning, the new Habitat House built by our construction and trade students, is moving to its final resting place. It’s loaded on a trailer inside the Perry Construction Institiute and will head out through the giant bay doors to its new home on a lot in downtown Gainesville. This was precisely why O Building was designed the way it was, so that our students can work on huge modular construction projects. How cool is that? Read more

He writes: “I was just walking by the new building on my way over to get coffee at Coffee 101 and looked in the window, noticed the baby grand, and thought it would make a great image. It was only afterward that I noticed the cool reflections on the window and in the mirrors. What an exciting way to start my week.”
