The Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film (CCTF) involved a major renovation and strategic additions to the existing Theatre and Film Department building at the University of Winnipeg. The new theatre features state-of-the-art performance, production and teaching facilities; a renovated 120 to 150 seat theatre; labs and studios dedicated to lighting, sound and recording; film and media production, as well as specially-designed spaces for rehearsals, teaching, costume, make-up and prop development. The centre piece of the facility is the new black box theatre which serves both as a teaching and a performance venue and is capable of multiple theatre configurations.
