Studio Theater

A new feature of the Cohon Center as of May 2016, the Studio Theater is prioritized for student organization auditions, rehearsals and performances. The space has a strong focus on acoustics and is sound-dampened to greatly reduce audio penetration elsewhere in the building. A conference room adjacent to the theater also doubles as a green room for studio theater performances.
