BergenPAC has begun work to transform a former recording studio into a performing arts school, northjersey.com reported. Much of the $150,000 in renovations will go toward moving walls and installing new carpet for the school, a spokeswoman said in the report. BergenPAC took over the space Jan. 1.

The performing arts center intends to use the historic building, which closed as a recording studio in 2011, to expand its educational programs.
