An excavator tears down part of the north side of the old Westbrook Music Building on July 24, continuing the phased demolition of the 1967 facility. The work will make way for landscaping that connects the site to the new, 103,000-square-foot Westbrook Music Building. The state-of-the-art facility opened in May and will host classes for the first time in fall 2025.
