THE CENTER
Hackley continues to grow, evolve, and prepare our graduates to compete in the 21st century. To do this, we must invest in the facilities that will help our current and future students advance beyond boundaries.
The Center for the Creative Arts and Technology elevates the creative process by bringing together computer science and the visual and performing arts. With 50,000 square feet dedicated to imagination and creativity, our students will have unique, cutting-edge opportunities to learn and create.
The 550-seat auditorium and 100-seat black box theater will spotlight Hackley’s student actors, artists, musicians, and technicians, and serve as a shared space across disciplines. Instructional spaces, rehearsal and practice rooms, scene shops, dressing rooms, and an art gallery will foster creativity in its many forms and elevate the visual and performing arts at Hackley. The Makerspace, studios, and flexible computer science classrooms will create a learning environment for superior computer science instruction across disciplines.

“The new Center for the Creative Arts and Technology—with its state of the art facilities, studios, exhibition spaces, and equipment—will no doubt be a transformative building for our program. I couldn’t be more excited about the creative possibilities and growth the Center will allow, and for the future of the Arts on the Hilltop.”
