For over five decades, the dining hall has been a stalwart presence at St. Paul Christian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. The decision was made to breathe new life into this cornerstone of the campus. The enhancements include an upgraded stage, improved acoustics, state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, and retractable seating that complements the high standards set by performing arts productions. A dance studio provides superior rehearsal and performance space. Despite these improvements, the space retains its identity as a dining hall. Palladian windows flood the interior with ample natural light during the day, and curtains gracefully close to set the stage for performances.
