American University will break ground in January 2003 on the $55-million, 130,000-sf Katzen Arts Center. Site preparation began in June for the center, which will house the university's art programs and will include a 30,000-sf gallery, a 200-seat recital hall, and a 500-space underground parking garage. General contractor for the project is Holder Construction. Additionally, American University began developing the Greenberg Theater in March. The project involves renovation of an old movie theater as the university's main performance venue, which will include 300-seats, dressing rooms, and a stage orchestra pit. Constructed by Hitt Contracting, the theater is slated for completion in December.
