After months of construction, the $70 million update to the Aspen Music Festival and School’s Bucksbaum Campus is nearly complete. Next week, staff will be returning to newly renovated administrative offices. Thirty six of 38 staff members will be moving back in. The other two are based at Harris Concert Hall.

This completes the second phase of the construction project, which updated maintenance facilities, performance spaces and administrative space.

 

Only the upper studio building remains incomplete, but the rest of the work should be finished by the time students return June 21.
