Aida Ingram Hall

Ingram Hall is home to the departments of Art & Design and Communication & Theatre. Communication and Art faculty members are located in Ingram. Theatre and Dance faculty members are located in the Theatre House. Ingram Hall is home to a communication computer lab, a digital photography/graphic design lab, and studio art classrooms for painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography and printmaking.

Ingram boasts two galleries: the University Gallery (which houses major shows and exhibitions) and the Wekell Gallery (which generally houses student and class work). In additions to department-specific classrooms and studios, Ingram also has an 80-seat multimedia lecture hall, which is utilized by several departments across the University.

Eastvold Auditorium

Eastvold Auditorium seats 1100 and is the home of PLU Theatre. Eastvold hosts all mainstage productions as well as a range of smaller productions throughout the year. In addition, the facility is used by student organizations for the annual "Night of Musical Theatre", several Alpha Psi Omega productions, and external events. Eastvold Auditorium also houses the scene and costume shops for theatre productions.
