Built as part of a new education campus, the Garage Theatre is a modern uncompromising building with large picture windows to provide views across the surrounding rural landscape. The palette of materials has been kept to a minimum, with dark semi-glazed bricks to the walls and pre-weathered zinc to the recessed top floor, the entrance and the external stage in front. The building consists of a 300 seated flexible auditorium with retractable seating, rehearsal room and social areas all linked through a double height foyer.
