The venue comprises a multipurpose, variable acoustics, professional performance hall serving everything from cinema to Tchaikovsky, a black box theatre, a 230 seat lecture room as well as lab, rehearsal, recording and their requisite support spaces. It also houses nationally-recognized KCSN-FM.  MCH provided full-scope acoustical and AV systems design.
 

"The acoustical design is attractively intimate in its clarity.  In an all-purpose hall, this is an admirable accomplishment.  The bass is terrific and every cello pizzicato had just the right presence. The lower middle-range instruments, usually hard to hear, displayed a fine presence. The violas, so interestingly used by Berlioz but rarely heard, made themselves wonderfully known."  - Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times Music Critic
