Description:
The Crowne Centre - a
297,000-square-foot, 6,050-seat multipurpose auditorium—stands on Main
Drive near the front entrance of campus. The state-of-the-art facility
is used for college chapel, classrooms, Campus Church services, and
other occasions. The auditorium combines excellence in aesthetics and
technology. Inside, a grand staircase in the foyer leads to the balcony.
An 18-by-24-foot magnification screen above the pulpit allows those
seated in back to have a better view of speakers and events on the
platform. A two-story, 100-foot revolving stage platform gives
flexibility in scheduling back-to-back events. In addition to classrooms
located on the second and third floors, the area below the balcony can
be divided into three seminar rooms, each accommodating up to 600
people. The building also houses spacious orchestra and choir rehearsal
areas, two 200-seat wedding chapels with hospitality rooms, and one
stand-alone hospitality room.
