The design also includes a separate wing for the Living Room Theatre program consisting of four 50-seat theaters, a café, kitchen and other support spaces. The Living Room Theater wing is joined to the classroom/office wing by a three-story atrium that serves as the University entrance to the classrooms and faculty departments as well as to the Theater. It also provides access from the parking lot through to other buildings. The Culture & Society Building is certified LEED Gold.
