Vacant lot in New Haven could become Yale’s new dramatic arts building

Yale University is looking to construct a seven-story dramatic arts building on a currently vacant lot at the corner of Crown and York Streets, according to documents filed with New Haven’s City Plan department. The plans for the Yale-owned parcels of 321, 333, 337 and 341 Crown Street and 142, 146 and 148 York Street propose classrooms, offices, production and technical shops, rehearsal and meeting spaces, a 100-seat studio theater, and a new 400-seat Yale Repertory Theater. The 188,294 square-foot building will use a steel frame with exterior walls of glass, metal and masonry. The project will seek LEED Gold certification and will meet Yale’s standard for “Zero Carbon Ready,” officials wrote in the application. It will hae 28 bicycle racks with 56 total spaces, and 41 on-site parking spaces would be eliminated.
