We helped to create a world class 450-seat chamber music recital hall and an intimate 160-seat conventional proscenium arch style theatre for the College. The new facilities are designed to serve the both the College and the wider Cardiff region, so the theatre and acoustic environment for student productions and professional performances was finely tuned to perfection.
