The high-performance creative hub includes five rehearsal studios modeled after onboard theaters to replicate real-world conditions for dancers, vocalists, and stage performers. Additional program elements include eight band rooms, dedicated wardrobe and scene storage, and a breakout lounge with a kitchenette to support extended rehearsal days.

A custom LED light wall enhances the immersive quality of rehearsals and doubles as a flexible performance backdrop. Designed with growth in mind, the facility can expand to include four additional dance studios, three vocal rooms, and expanded office and conference areas.
