Waxahachie, TX – May 13, 2011 – Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) plans to break ground on its state-of-the-art World Communication Center (WCC) Fall 2012.

SAGU President Bridges met with the university’s Board of Regents April 29 to propose the development of the WCC. The Board unanimously approved the development plan. The facility will be built on the east perimeter of campus, just north of Nelson Memorial Library.

The complex will address the needs of media intensive programs like Communication Arts and Music. In addition to freeing up office and classroom space, it will provide cutting edge media tools such as audio/video editing labs, recording studios and a digital multi-keyboard training room. It will also provide band/choral rehearsal halls and a new Fine Arts auditorium, which will provide additional means to partner with the community.

The first phase of construction will develop the east half of the facility, which will contain classrooms, faculty offices and some of the labs, studios and rehearsal halls. The Fine Arts auditorium will be the centerpiece of the second phase, which will develop the west half.

In the past ten years, SAGU has doubled facility square footage with the construction of Bridges Hall, Teeter Hall and the Garrison Wellness Center. When residential living reaches appropriate levels, the university will consider the addition of another dormitory adjacent to Bridges and Teeter Halls.
