A highly anticipated brand new addition to Southwestern Community College will support performing arts students and bring entertainment and theater culture to the local community. The new Performing Arts and Cultural Center building will include a lobby, 500-seat proscenium theatre, black box theatre, instructional facilities, and a music/dance studio. A Culinary Arts instructional area may also be included in the facility.

The building will be situated on the northeastern portion of the Southwestern College Main Campus. In addition to serving the students, this facility may be used to accommodate the community, host public events and cultural engagements. The PACC is registered for LEED Silver Certification.
