OC to break ground for new additions to the Odessa College Amphitheater

Odessa College will host a groundbreaking for the new shade structure project for the Odessa College Amphitheater at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Located directly behind the Saulsbury Campus Center, the Amphitheater is the center of many outdoor activities and performances for the students, employees, and guests to Odessa College throughout the school year. Now, with the new addition to the Amphitheater, outdoor events will be even more enjoyable for everyone, a news release said.

The project, which is estimated to take six months to complete, will include the cover to provide shade, lighting, a sound system, and cement and dirt work. Pavers will be added on each level of the Amphitheater which will allow for the seating of 450 people under the shade covering. MW Builders is the contractor for the project.
