Parking is available in the 550 Lone Pine Road lot. The main entrance to the Performing Arts Center is at the top of the drop-off oval.
Visitors during school hours should first check in with the Deans office. From the 550 Lone Pine Road lot, follow the sidewalk bordering the Thompson Oval (football field) to the main staircase leading to Hoey Hall. Proceed up the stairs. Enter the building on the second level via the first door on the right. Turn left. The Deans office will be the second door on the right.
Lerchen Hall (commonly referred to as the Performing Arts Center, or the PAC) was originally a gymnasium, and it still retains a bit of that previous identiy on the exterior. Located next to the Thompson Oval, the tall golden oak door that opens onto the field is flanked by two bronze sculptures celebrating athletic endeavors, Discus Thrower and Hermes. The interior of the building, however, is a cozy venue for plays, ceremonies, and concerts. With state-of-the-art stage lighting, tall ceilings, and comfortably intimate audience seating, the PAC is an adaptable space that can be used for a variety of events.
