Sobrato Center for Humanities and the Arts

This 49,700 sf Theater and Classroom building was added to Bellarmine’s campus to include a full-fly theater seating up to 440 patrons with thrust stage/orchestra lift, trap, and vomitoriums leading to band and individual music practice rooms below grade. Students enthusiastically learn about the full theater experience from performance to the behind-the-scenes jobs including the audio/visual booth, set shop, and black box theater. The Lobby connects the cantilevered theater lobby with the 3-story classroom wing housing a ceramics studio with kiln and raku pit, digital technology lab and green rooms in addition to instructional classrooms.
