Seattle University's Lee Center for the Arts, designed by LMN Architects, will be housed in a 1930s-era building that was originally an automobile showroom.

The theater will seat 140 people and include dressing rooms, a green room, costume shop, scene shop and a lobby. The lobby also will be used for art exhibits and theater functions.

The theater is on the east side of the Seattle University campus, along 12th Avenue. Construction cost is $4 million. New brick, metal and glass cladding are designed to make the 22,000-square-foot building more compatible with the architectural character of other buildings on campus, according to LMN.

Another goal is to create a pedestrian and neighborhood-friendly face for the university.

The consultant team includes Quantum Consulting Engineers, structural engineers; Cdi Engineers, mechanical; Candela, theater/lighting consultant; Sparling, electrical; Coughlin Porter Lundeen, civil; Michael R. Yantis Associates, acoustical; and The Berger Partnership, landscape architecture.

The general contractor is Sellen.
