There are over 1,500 students who attend Reinhardt University, and twenty percent of those students are involved in the university’s music and theater programs. For many years the music and theater programs were spread across the campus, however this new theater has brought the program together, offering more collaboration, technological resources and creativity between the departments.

The building is part of an “Arts Around the Lake” program that former Reinhardt University President, Dr. Kina Mallard, envisioned. She planned for the University to become a destination for learning, arts, faith and culture. A glass conservatory is included on the rear of the structure overlooking the lake as a reminder and tribute to the namesake of the program, and as an inspirational focal point on campus.
