Since 2001, Julliard has broken new ground by adding undergraduate and graduate jazz study programs, including the pre-professional Julliard Jazz Institute, a collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Second Century Fund, a $300 million initiative of Julliard's Creative Commons, strengthens and enhances faculty and student financial resources to enable the development of important artistic and academic programs, and coincides with the completion of Julliard's newly restored building. It will house state-of-the-art studios, theaters, and rehearsal halls, a music technology and writing communications center, and a secure preservation room for the invaluable Julliard manuscript collection.
