Facility Info
  • Description The Shed is designed to support the flexible, innovative nature of our programming. The remarkable building literally moves: The McCourt is a 280-foot telescoping shell on rails that is completely enclosable and can expand to approx 17,000 square feet. This exceptional design makes it an utterly unique venue for special events.

    The ingenious movable structure can adapt to a wide variety of gatherings and functions in its divisible and reconfigurable spaces: the eight-level glass and steel structure contains a lobby, two museum-quality galleries, a 500-seat theater, and a large event space, in addition to the soaring main shell that forms The McCourt. When the shell is nested over the base building, guests can take advantage of the spectacular Plaza that is created to accommodate open-air events. The Shed is a venue for special events like no other in the world.
