Entering the Performing Arts Centre via MacDonald Street, students and visitors are immediately struck by the vibrant orange and pink colours. The café equipped with a kitchen, protrudes out of the angled wall and the design shows the ceiling as an extension of the façade. The double height foyer, with its translucent wall and skylights, gives further access to the lower and upper level auditorium. The auditorium with its colourful acoustic panels has a large stage fitted out with lighting bars and audio-visual equipment to facilitate a stage set up for a diverse range of activities and concerts.
