NOTICE: Summer Renovations at the Fowler Center

Thank you for choosing the Fowler Center for your event and performance needs.

We are pleased to announce that the Fowler Center will undergo several renovations throughout the summer in preparation for the autumn semester. These improvements are designed to enhance the appearance, accessibility, and overall experience of our facilities for the Arkansas State University campus and the greater Jonesboro community.

During the renovation period, work will take place throughout the Fowler Center during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Guests and event organizers should be aware that contractors and repair personnel may be present in the building, and some projects may result in dust, noise, or limited access to certain areas.

Planned improvements include interior painting, new flooring and carpet, accessibility improvements for wheelchair seating in Riceland Hall, updated furniture, and new digital signage.

We'll continue to work to accommodate scheduled events during this time and coordinate event needs around renovation work whenever possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these improvements.

We are excited about these renovations and the ongoing work to make the Fowler Center a premier destination for performance and community events in Jonesboro.

Thank you for your continued support of the Fowler Center.
