Mass Communications Center

This $6.5 million, two story, state-of-the-art mass communication building is part of a $22 million complex that includes Arkansas Educational Television Network Communication Center, the Donald W. Reynolds Performance Hall, and the City of Conway/ UCA Conference Center.
