The 34,000sf, 600-seat auditorium was the newest performing arts center (PAC) in the state upon its completion. The building provides drama and music students with a modern and acoustically designed facility for plays and concerts. The new lighting and sound system provides the students in the drama program opportunities to learn all aspects of production. The PAC is also open to groups in the community and in the state so their performances can be seen and heard in a facility that will showcase their talents.
