In 2004, Liberty University sought to expand its Lynchburg campus within the former General Electric plant, which occupies 113 acres adjacent the school's "Main Campus."  A feasibility study was executed and indicated that a 500 to 600 seat theatre could be developed within the 100 by 60 foot steel frame tower that stands over 80 feet tall. The BCWH  team was hired to explore how to implement this concept while remaining attentive to the production and presentation goals of the theatre department.  

Working within the existing volume, the architects and theatre consultants shaped a 550-seat hybrid-thrust proscenium theatre with an orchestra level of 370 seats and a wrap-around balcony level of 180 seats. The orchestra features a variable projection stage with several rows of removable seats and side boxes while the balcony features projecting side boxes and outstanding sight-lines. The technical gallery sits at the back of the balcony level in position to maintain the theatrical controls while the catwalk is left partially exposed as it leads back to the lighting platform. The volume of the fly tower consumes the entire volume of the existing building over the stage, and is equipped with state-of-the-art electric motorized rigging systems and theatrical lighting systems.
