The main auditorium rests on a concrete platform and consists of a galvanized steel framed structural system cladded with steel sandwich panels.
The adjoining commercial tent (The Rotunda) and the youth hall are fully covered with tensile structures that are composed of galvanized steel frames for maximum support and a heavy duty PVC-vinyl fabric that is flame retardant and rip resistant. They are also manufactured to act as insulation against heat gain and loss.
