The project transforms the 80-year-old heritage building into a technologically advanced facility. The expanded entry terrace and lobby welcome the public into a bright and contemporary space. The main auditorium was reconfigured to provide tiered seating for 400, with updated floor levels and circulation paths that improve accessibility. Major upgrades to building systems, stage rigging, acoustics and theatre technology enhance experience and learning opportunities. A new Studio Theater provides rehearsal and performance space and serves as a multi-purpose lecture classroom for the campus.
