Sapp Design Associates Architects

Evangel Fine Arts Center

Located at 1111 N. Glenstone Ave., this project for Evangel University is an approximately $7.3 million fine arts facility. Michael J. Sapp, AIA, is the project administrator, and James C. Stufflebeam, AIA, is the project designer/architect. Walton Construction Company Inc. is the contractor on the two-story, 67,000-square-foot facility, which has an estimated completion date of July 2002.

The new structure will be attached to the west side of the existing Chapel Auditorium. The first floor of the Fine Arts Center will house the music department, including a 300-seat concert hall, rehearsal and practice facilities, and faculty studio offices. The first floor also will include a 250-seat drama theater, as well as related production facilities, classrooms and faculty offices.

The second floor will be situated above the northern half of the first floor and will include all classrooms, studios, and faculty offices for Evangel's art program.

This facility is made possible through the generosity of Rev. and Mrs. Lawrence Barnett and their children Larry, Gay and David.
