Emerson College will break ground on its new 185,000-sf dormitory in early 2004. Sited in midtown Boston, the 600-bed project dubbed "Piano Row" will facilitate completion of the college's relocation from its previous Back Bay location. Designed by Stubbins Associates of Cambridge, the building will stand 14 stories above ground with three underground stories including a tournament-regulation basketball court. Completion is expected by fall of 2006.

Emerson also celebrated the official dedication of its Tufte Performance and Production Center on the weekend of October 30, 2003. Housing two theaters, classrooms, dressing rooms, offices, television studios, and a gallery, the 11-story facility was designed by Elkus/Manfredi Architects and built by Lee Kennedy Co.
