We have been working tirelessly with our partners at MB Kahn to design a space for our students where they can grow creatively and showcase their talents.

The completed space is projected to have seating for 420 people when the telescopic bleachers are extended. We cannot wait to unveil the finished product to our faculty, students, and community!
