The newest construction project going on at the University of Montevallo is that of a outdoor amphitheater. This is actually not a brand new construction but a continuation of one started a long time ago.
The amphitheater has, for all intended purposes, has been a project in the works. The original design was thought of in the 1930's and construction didn't start until 1937 and 1938.The outline of the amphitheater has been around for a long time, but over that time a lot of the brick outline was buried under ground.
It took some time and a lot of research but Directory of the Physical Plant at UM, Billy Hughes, found those bricks with the help of blueprints of the original layout.
Still under construction but they have currently installed around 50,000 bricks. Hughes says they would need about another 30,000 bricks to finish up the walk ways leading to college drive.The outdoor amphitheater will be able to hold many different events in its current location.
Events such as; plays, bands, weddings, and even possibly the graduation ceremony for UM. The finished product should be done within the next few months.
