We needed a multipurpose space, a big space, and there was no problem designing that in.

Our idea is to build three theaters together, two conventional theaters and one multipurpose space.

It is a multipurpose space used for receptions, rehearsals, and intimate cabaret-style performances.

This large multipurpose space is used for lectures, conferences, and special events.

It lay vacant until 2005, when it was transformed into multipurpose commercial space.

Over the years the large, multipurpose space has been the site of weddings, funerals, press conferences, receptions and receiving lines.

Mr. Ketting believes that a multipurpose space would help revitalize the community and attract tourists.

"A building to be used by families, children, teachers, scientists and researchers has to have a lot of multipurpose spaces," said the architect, Allan Shope.

The concept is to transform the hall into a multipurpose space that is suitable for all occasions.

The facility will include weight training and cardiovascular areas, a Varsity Club lounge, and multipurpose space.
