Picturing the Future MARC REISEN ’02, assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati College Of Art, Design Architecture & Planning, created renderings depicting proposed renovations to the current Gallenstein Activity Center and main building, a side expansion that would include a new Performing Arts Center entrance. “These renderings are for people to dream and have a visual of what we could look like!” said Advancement Director Debbie Geiger.
“The renderings above and to the right depict the entrance to the new Performing Arts Center from the south side of our campus,” said Bill Braun ’72, Moeller’s facilities director. “The Center would include a new home for the Music Department by providing rehearsal space for our band, percussion, choral, and theater programs. Its placement within the architectural ‘footprint’ positions it directly adjacent to a newly renovated auditorium (see rendering below right.) The Center would also include an expansion of the cafeteria on the lower level to provide for more meeting space and more flexible lunch scheduling.”

The rendering above depicts a newly renovated Gallenstein Activity Center (AC). “The rendering of the AC shows a new entrance on the north side leading into a new locker room complex and a renovated practice area,” explains Braun.
