Explore The Center
A Functional Work of Art
The 50,000+-square-foot, 750-seat theater will accommodate music, dance, and musical theater performances. This new building will attract members of the RIT community and wider Rochester area to campus for performances and events in a modern, state-of-the-art facility. The thoughtful design of the building's base features bold interior colors, visible from the outside through large glass windows, which will add visual interest to campus during the day and at night.
State-of-the-Art Theater
The distinctive three-story theater is planned to include seating for 750, an orchestra pit with full orchestra accommodation, mezzanine and balcony, as well as a historic, restored theater pipe organ. It will provide an exciting venue for solo and ensemble music, dance, and musical theater performances.
