Curry’s newest academic building houses a multi-purpose auditorium capable of hosting a wide range of academic and student affairs programming such as lectures, theatre productions, academic meetings and numerous other events.
The Oscar B. and Frances A. Keith Auditorium is located on the bottom floor of the new academic building and features:
- Seating for 125 to 250 audience members
- An entrance from the Levin Parking Lot
- A full shop area for building sets
- A green room/ dressing room for actors complete with private bathrooms
- A separate light/sound booth
- A Theatre Office
According to D.L. Garren, Communication Professor and Theatre Director, the new space allows students to learn all aspects of theatre and enhance a theatre program that traces its roots back to the founding of the school in 1879.
The new academic building is connected to Levin Library on the campus quadrangle and holds state-of-the-art classrooms, faculty office suites, and break-out facilities.
