January 2010 saw the opening of Barnard’s new nexus for intellectual, cultural, and social life. With its completion, Barnard realized one of the largest and most ambitious projects in its history. The LEED Silver certified building has been designed to facilitate and encourage greater interaction, exchange of ideas, and rigorous and creative thinking across the Barnard community.

Located at the base of the Diana Center, the theatre and theatre workshop together provide a venue for teaching and performance within a large multi-use building that includes academic facilities, event spaces, and student services.

The venue design allows a high level of flexibility that can be used for events including drama, film, music, and dance. Seating is reconfigurable using a modular platform system, allowing the space to be used in a proscenium style, thrust, in-the-round, or flat floor configuration.
