The new University of Alabama Performing Arts Academic Center, which will connect to the restored Bryce Main Campus, will be the grand centerpiece of this vibrant new campus.

Here are a few details on this project:

  • The facility will include four performance theaters—a black box theater with flexible seating for 175-275, a 350-seat proscenium style theater, a 450-seat venue specifically designed for dance and a dance studio theater with flexible space for rehearsals, recitals and smaller performances.
  • The facility includes costume, scenery, production and lighting studios.
  • The center also features adjustable acoustics in the drama theaters and precisely engineered floors for dance.

More info on this project can be found on the university’s College of Arts & Sciences website.
