The Alice Dodge Wallace ’38 Center for the Performing Arts will include the renovated Alumnae Chapel and an expansion into a subterranean annex building, both carefully planned and constructed to maintain historical features and the character of campus.

The interior chapel renovation will offer balcony and main floor seating, and highlights restoration of historic features like the leaded glass windows and visible wood trusses. Main floor seating will be flexible to support different performance settings, including a motorized extended stage for orchestra and other large performances. New side and rear balconies will offer views to the stage and to the community.
