Grinnell, Iowa, USA
Theatre Projects

A combination of renovation and new construction, this center includes the renovated Roberts Theatre, which was upgraded with new seating, theatre equipment, and modern audio-video systems.

130,000
square-foot facility

A recital hall—one of several new venues in the building—provides an intimate and inviting venue for acoustic performances and features adjustable acoustic devices and state-of-the-art lighting and audio systems. A new studio theatre has a trapped main floor, portable seating risers, wire grid, control room suite, and a perimeter technical gallery, which is demountable at the scene shop door, allowing loading of large scenic pieces. The center also includes a second studio theatre, visual arts studios, dance studio, music rehearsal rooms, administrative offices, art gallery,  scene shop, and classrooms.
