Currently in design, the multi-function studio theatre allows configurations of theatre and concerts between 200-500 seats, conferences, and sit-down dining.

The flat-floor performance space, designed to provide flexible formats from theatre to dining, includes:

• 350 person retractable seating bank

• Removable seating pit to create a ‘raised stage’ experience

• 10 x 10m stage area with wings and cross-over

• Technical catwalks / tension wire grid over

• Sprung floor suitable for dancing

• Control room

• Operable walls for room division

• Sound locks to all entry points

• Large, acoustic sliding door to connect the space to the foyer and future library.
