The project includes a 600-seat proscenium theatre, a flexible 200-seat studio that opens to a grass amphitheatre, transforming seamlessly into an outdoor sound shell. These venues are complemented by a suite of function and meeting spaces, positioning the centre as both a cultural destination and a full-service convention facility.
