The Adelphi University Performing Arts Center opened in 2008 and is home to five intimate venues: The 500 seat Concert Hall; the 80 seat recital hall (which is also set up to be a recording studio), the 300 seat Olmsted Theatre (originally opened in 1974), the 175 seat dance theatre and a flexible black box theatre. Although they are primarily used by our students and faculty throughout the academic year, all of our venues are available for rent by outside organizations
