VCUarts building now named for late dean Dr. Murry N. DePillars
The sound of jazz broke through the commotion of traffic and people on West Broad Street as the sun set on the city last Thursday. Bands played outside and within the former Virginia Commonwealth University Fine Arts Building at 1000 W. Broad St. as guests gathered for a ceremony officially renaming the building after Dr. Murry N. DePillars, the late dean of VCUarts.
