Bayard Sharp Hall is being outfitted with a custom-built Dobson pipe organ. Built in Lake City, Iowa, at a cost of $350,000, the mechanical-action organ will feature 18 registers, 21 stops, 22 ranks and 1,234 pipes. A major portion of the funding has been donated by Edward and Naomi Jefferson of Greenville, Del., and the interior of the building is known as the Jefferson Music Gallery in recognition of their donation.

In preparation for the installation of the organ, the balcony was steel-reinforced, says Hollowell. Other recent changes include updating electrical systems and plumbing, installing new heating and air-conditioning systems and adding handicapped-accessible ramps.
