Centre In The Square
Proscenium arch
An acoustical and architectural jewel, Centre In The Square, was designed by Rieder, Hymmen and Lobban, and opened in September, 1980. The cost to build The Centre was just over $11 million.
The focal point of the spacious building is the Raffi Armenian Theatre, one of North America's most expansive, acoustically- superior halls.
Specially-designed to deliver optimal acoustics, performers rave about how they are heard with the same warmth and brilliance in the very last row as in the first.
The 2,047-seat design offers exceptional, unobstructed views of the stage, which is one of the largest stages in North America. As well, The Centre offers state-of-the-art sound, lights and theatrical systems. In addition, a design priority was to facilitate recording and broadcasting.
Located within The Centre is The Studio, a multi-purpose space used
for receptions, rehearsals, cabarets and private functions.
Also located in The Centre is the Kitchener/Waterloo Art Gallery which boasts excellent exhibit spaces.
Every year, approximately 190,000 audience members attend a variety of
events including everything from dance, symphony, international stars, children's performers, mega-musicals, comedians, to magic and more!
The Centre is also a location-of-choice for corporate meetings and private functions.
