About


For more than 60 years, Lipinsky Hall has stood at the creative heart of UNC Asheville, home to unforgettable performances, passionate student voices and a vibrant arts community that has shaped generations.

Now, this historic space is poised for transformation.

Gifts supporting Lipinsky Hall will help reimagine the building as a state-of-the-art home for music and the arts, a space that reflects the excellence, innovation and creative spirit of Asheville's University.

Plans for the multimillion-dollar renovation include a modern performance hall for concerts, lectures and campus events, acoustically optimized rehearsal rooms and private practice spaces, new music technology studios and collaborative classrooms, and welcoming student gathering areas alongside upgraded faculty offices. Critical updates to acoustics, seating, lighting and building systems will ensure the facility supports artistic expression at the highest level.

This transformation isn't simply about infrastructure. It's about opportunity.

It's about giving student musicians, performers and scholars the tools and spaces they need to experiment, collaborate and refine their craft. It's about strengthening the creative spark that defines UNC Asheville’s liberal arts experience. It's about ensuring that a historic building’s next act is as bold as the students it serves.

When students step onto the concert stage, gather in the Music Commons, rehearse in an ensemble room or study in a technology studio, they are not only practicing performance. They are building discipline, confidence and creative leadership.

Your gift helps shape the future of music and the arts at UNC Asheville. Together, we can build a Lipinsky Hall that reflects the passion, excellence and potential of every student who walks through its doors.
