The Civic Arts Center (CAC) currently under construction on the Maryville College campus soon will have a new name.

College administrators, city officials and members of the CAC fundraising team will make the announcement about the name during a “topping out” ceremony scheduled for 11:15 a.m., Fri., April 24, at the construction site (campus side).

The public is invited to attend.

Gibson. “We have been calling this facility the ‘Civic Arts Center’ for several years now and by officially naming it, I believe we’re beginning a new era.

Now, it is an impressive steel and concrete and brick complex that, with a new name, soon will become a true gathering place for our area.
