This 365,000 square foot multipurpose academic building will serve as a new campus gateway for City Tech—one of the largest universities in New York, with more than 14,000 students in 63 programs. The eight-story academic center features training labs, classrooms, administrative offices, an 800-seat gymnasium, and a 1,000-seat multipurpose theatre. The versatile space serves as a college-wide lecture hall as well as a fully functional drama and dance theatre. The room is equipped with an adjustable proscenium, modular stage floor, and extensive AV infrastructure. Theatre Projects designed the theatre equipment and AV systems to be both highly functional and student-friendly, providing a valuable resource to train student technicians planning to work in theatre professionally.
