In preparation for the start of construction on Slippery Rock University's Performing Arts Center, seating was removed from Miller Auditorium April 24. Upon completion, Miller Auditorium will feature: a 753-seat performance space; two dance studios; an orchestra pit; a scene shop and new loading dock. West Gym will house offices for SRU's Dance and Theatre Departments; a dance studio with additional support areas for both departments; and classrooms. East Gym updates will include a black box theatre with seating for 296; a costume shop; acting and design classrooms; and a dance studio crafted from the building's previous swimming pool area.
