The Moss Arts Center is the premier performance venue in Blacksburg. It is a 150,000-square-foot facility, which includes the 1,260-seat Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre, visual arts galleries, amphitheatre, and the four-story experimental Cube. The center also offers a multimedia studio, production control room, newsroom, and associated classrooms in support of the Department of Communication. This building is located adjacent to Upper Quad, where Schultz Dining Hall was.
History
Ground was broken for the center on June 21, 2010. It was built using a combination of new and existing construction. In 2012, Shultz Dining Hall, built in 1962, closed so that it could be used for the construction.
It is named for artist and donor Patricia Buckley Moss. The center officially opened on Oct. 28, 2013.
