The '62 Center for Theatre and Dance at Williams College provides an environment that encourages interaction among students and between students and teachers. It's a building for learning. The center houses a number of theatres, studios, and classrooms, including the uniquely flexible CenterStage - a studio space with reconfigurable seating, moveable balconies, and a double-decker lift. The lobbies, lounges, and hallways serve as gathering places. The central corridor runs past several of the studio spaces which have glass fronts so people can watch the activity inside.
