The outdoor Amphitheater was constructed and opened for use in fall 2012, in the location once known as the East Lawn or "The Bowl." This area was converted as an additional space for student organizations to host events and celebrations. Bleacher-style seating was carved from the sloping hillside creating a grassy, comfortable space to view programming, study, or relax. There is also a stage in the center of the amphitheater with additional room for dancing, plays, or other activities. The Amphitheater is located north of the McDowell Administration Building.
