Full scope theatre consulting for Jackson Hall, a 1,800-seat multi-purpose venue and the Studio Theare. The theatre was designed with concert hall acoustics and a large stage and fly tower for dance, Broadway shows and popular entertainment. Jackson Hall is the formal gathering place on campus and will host arts programming, University meetings, lectures and ceremonies. The new hall marks the fulfillment of the University's long-awaited goal - a world-class arts destination, serving the UCD community and the greater Sacramento area.
