Winter 2000/2001 Vol. 4, No. 3 A PUBLICATION OF THE NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS FOR ALUMNI, STUDENTS AND FRIENDS

N NOVEMBER 7, North Carolina voters overwhelmingly passed a $3.1 Obillion bond package for the state’s public universities and community colleges. The package includes funds to update and repair facilities most critically in need at the schools, as well as funds to build new facilities to handle enrollment growth.

NCSA will receive $42.5 million in bonds including: > $2.25 million for an archives facility for the School of Filmmaking in order to properly store the collection of more than 25,000 original 35mm feature films; 1,500 live action and animated short films, documentaries and newsreels; 8,000 previews; and 4,000 video cassettes, laser discs and DVDs. It is the largest educational collection in the world.

> $8.9 million for a new chamber music hall which will allow students of the School of Music to perform in the professional setting for which they are being trained. Currently, more than 100 concerts are performed annually in Crawford Hall, a 70-year-old renovated high school auditorium.

> $4.4 million for the renovation of the upper five floors of the Stevens Center in order to provide expanded facilities for NCSA’s Community Students assembled and marched to the Board of Elections to vote and to Music School.
