Yale University is looking to construct a new seven-story, 188,300-square-foot dramatic arts building on school-owned property at the corner of York and Crown streets in downtown New Haven. The new building will be home to the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale graduate school program and Yale Repertory Theater, as well as the university’s undergraduate program in theater, dance and performance studies, according to the application that was submitted to the City Plan Commission. The project will take place in four phases beginning in summer 2025, and be completed by summer 2029. Yale University’s drama school got a big boost in 2021 from a $150 million gift from entertainment industry magnate David Geffen. Yale has used the money to make its drama school tuition-free.
