October 2026

A new chapter for Old Main is just around the corner!

While punch list work continues throughout the first, second, third, and fourth floors, exciting progress is underway in the basement with lighting installation and ceiling cloud work in the theater. Next up: installation of theater seating and theater lighting.

With each milestone, Old Main moves closer to reopening as a vibrant learning, gathering, and community space for generations of Comets to come.

The lights are on in the theater, bringing the space one step closer to completion.

Tile installation is complete in Stair 1 through the third floor, while mudding and taping continue on the upper levels.
