The versatile multipurpose 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. We 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.
