Background 

New in 2003, the $10.4 million Performing Arts Center is the culmination of joint efforts by the University and the Brookings Community.  A 62,000 square foot building has a 5,000 square foot glass enclosed lobby ensconcing the west side of the facility.  A long staircase sends patrons to balcony seating in the 1,000 seat Concert Hall, to the faculty offices or to the theatre’s “smart” classroom.  The facility is also home to a 200 seat Studio Theatre.  In the theatre, seating is all on the floor level at the same plane as the stage.  The seats are retractable so performances can be done in the round or with the audience on three sides as well as in the traditional stage format.
