The outside area of the building includes new walkways, a service entrance for equipment and scenery loading and unloading, as well as an entrance directly into the addition. Inside, there is a new art gallery, a scene shop where set designs can be constructed, and a stage extension, which adds to the utility of the existing theatre. The new performing arts studio with a hardwood dance floor is enveloped with a curtain wall, giving the dancers inside a prime view of the campus and its shade trees.
