The major performance facility
of Theatre Arts is the Burtness

on Centennial Drive, in the central
campus, just across the street from

style of the central campus includes
classic to modern interpretations
of the "collegiate Gothic" theme.
The campus is admired for its spaciousness
and beauty in all seasons, and particularly
for its flowers in summer and fall.

Burtness
Theatre,
Black Box Lab

Burtness Theatre sits near the
beautiful English Coulee, and near
the Celebrate Park, which features
the Adelphi
Fountain. This vista of the Coulee features
access to walking paths, and recreational
opportunities, and is one of the
most photographed spots in eastern
North Dakota.
Included in Burntness Theatre are
a 365-seat proscenium theatre, a
flexible seating laboratory theatre,
and scenic and costume shops. While
Burtness is nearly 40 years old,
major equipment purchases in lighting
and sound and other remodeling projects
help maintain this theatre as one
of the best in the region.

The main offices, classrooms and
studios of the Department of Theatre
Arts are located just West of Burtness
Theatre in historic Chandler Hall.
Chandler Hall is currently the oldest
and most historic building on campus,
and has a facinating history.
The building is named for Professor
Emeritus Elwyn Chandler (1872-1946),
who joined the UND faculty in 1899.
The building was once home to laundry
services, the art department, and
was part of the power plant.
Chandler's facilities include:
a dance studio, classroom and rehearsal
spaces, a design studio and shops,
and office and storage spaces.
