Ringling College Announces Plans for Newtown Soundstage The Ringling College of Art and Design (ringling.edu) Friday announced plans for a 30,000-square-foot soundstage and post-production facility to be built on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, between Central and Cocoanut avenues, in Sarasota’s historic Newtown neighborhood. The public/private partnership includes private investors New York-based Semkhor and locally based BHS Properties, and was also made possible in part by a 2010 $1.75 million grant from the county. When completed, the facility will be used for academic as well as commercial purposes. Director Roman Coppola, the college’s 2014 commencement speaker and son of Francis Ford Coppola, is consulting on the project. Construction is slated to begin in 2015.
