The Dome

The Dome

Make your way to the tip top of Memorial Hall, and you’ll find yourself in The Dome.

This spectacular multi-use space, complete with oculus, once served as the Yale Banner yearbook office, and now features theatrical lighting, a sprung floor, and the technological infrastructure for projection design, videography and much more. Your new destination for boundary-pushing performances, presentations, and dance parties.

The Dome is available to undergraduates to reserve, on a limited basis, through the Creative and Performing Arts (CPA) application. Usually, The Dome is available for CPA projects for the last two weeks of each semester.
