Building Details
Client Williams College
Cost $45-million
Area 126,000 square feet ( square meters)


"The college's new building for performing-arts students was designed to take full advantage of the rural Berkshire landscape by framing panoramic views. The facility's largest venue, the 550-seat main stage, is a proscenium-style theater. Also incorporated into the building are a 200-seat studio space and an existing 210-seat thrust-stage theater, which share a scene shop with the large hall, and a dance studio. In addition, the building houses faculty members' offices, a costume shop, and a seminar room. The main lobby opens onto the town green with large sliding doors and a broad overhang. Campus pathways wind through the building, giving visitors and students a chance to glimpse plays and dances in the making. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
