Purpose-built acoustic recital hall, recording studio and classroom wing first, then an outdoor amphitheater and spatial-audio dome in a later phase. Anchored by HUA's academic mission and a tranched lead pledge. All values are reference-model scenario figures.
What happens, and when
- · Architectural design and permits

The reference case argues the diaspora has the density and second-generation cultural confidence to anchor a permanent institution, not only festival programming. Treat as a hypothesis to test with community research.
A university can package a hall, a degree pathway, a chair and scholarly context in one place. Accreditation and exclusivity claims in the source must be verified before reuse.
The combination of acoustic hall, dome, studio, chair and degree pathway is the distinctive proposition, not any single feature.
Sample white-label fundraising demonstration prepared by SEHG for discussion. Not produced, reviewed or endorsed by Hindu University of America. The Center for the Sacred Arts, its spaces, degrees, chair and festival are proposed concepts, not operating programs. Renderings are illustrative. No gift has been committed and no naming is presumed. Financial figures are scenario models, not forecasts.
