Tennessee Performing Arts Center officials on Thursday released images for their facility planned to sit within the East Bank — a futuristic structure to offer a reflective metal facade with aluminum tubes suggesting organ pipes.
In a release, TPAC said it expects site work and construction to begin on what could be an approximately $620 million project in the first quarter of 2027. Work is slated to be completed by 2030.
