The University of Arts is yet another higher education institution in Albania where restoration work s underway under a project designed to renovate the premises of the facility. The concerts hall is currently being totally renovated to be restored to its former glory.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, accompanied by the Minister of Culture Elva Elva Margariti, inspected the ongoing reconstruction work and toured the site where work is underway for some time now to restore the concerts hall and make it available to students, university staff and artistic community.
“The whole building is actually a second category monument of culture, which means that its architectural values and the façade elements must be preserved. However, we are treating it as a first category monument, meaning that we have preserved most of its original elements, around 90% of the décor elements. We will also recover several concert hall spaces that were unused previously. The new concert hall is designed to have a capacity of 455 seats, one of the halls to be restored back to the artistic and university community,” the Culture Minister said.
The concerts hall at the University of Arts has been equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a revolving auditorium and stage and orchestra pit.
The new hall has been completed with all the previously missing elements and once project is complete it will meet the highest standards for the performers and art lovers.
