Apeiro Design (formerly Auerbach Pollock Friedlander) collaborated with HGA Architects on the programming, planning, design and construction phases for the Center.

Both the concert hall and the large rehearsal room are used by national and local touring companies and smaller arts organizations; and are available for film premieres, conferences, meetings and other film industry events. The concert hall is also used for orchestra, opera, Broadway performances, contemporary music and dance. The proscenium venue is acoustically adjustable and features three- tiers of seating, all with excellent sightlines. Flexible theatrical and technical elements are carefully integrated with the architectural design to support production while providing a finely finished appearance. The custom orchestra shell complements the audience chamber design and supports acoustic performance.

The flexible studio theatre, studio terrace, shops, light lab, costume shop, design studio and support spaces are occupied by the College of Arts, Media, and Communication.
