The renovation of MacKay Hall Auditorium will revive and enhance the existing auditorium, while a new contemporary seating arrangement for the 215 students will support teaching and learning in an interactive classroom. The existing structure required Raker Rhodes Engineering to provide a framing system to the 100 year old structure. With this renovation, an environment suitable for the needs of students and faculty today and in the future was provided while respecting the historical character of the space.
