This structure will house a black box theater, ticket sales office, restrooms, and other spaces necessary to create a new theatrical addition to the Classroom Building II. The building construction will be consistent with the existing classroom buildings on campus in terms of general proportions, massing, and materials. The renovation of approximately 61,550 square feet will include, but is not limited to, ADA compliance, new elevators, stairways, and a complete roof replacement. Existing utilities and systems will need to be upgraded.
