The Hill School's arts facilities
	CFTA The Hill School Center For The Arts (CFTA) is a 31,000-square-foot, $6.9 million dollar visual and performing art center. It was the first-place winner in the National Excellence in Construction Competition in 1990. The CFTA also was awarded top honors for its design; it was designed by H2L2, a Philadelphia based architectural firm. The CFTA houses the Center Theatre, a 720-seat, state-of-the-art proscenium theatre that serves as a learning laboratory for budding stage and lighting designers and technicians, as well as the home of The Ellis Theatre Guild, a student-run production company that has mounted more than 30 productions in the theatre since its opening in the fall of 1989. The stage has a 50-foot proscenium and is approximately 30-feet deep. It has a full orchestra pit. The theatre also boasts a computerized lighting system, a stereophonic sound system, 27-line counterweight system, and 100-foot-high loft where scenery can be hung to clear it from the stage. The Center presents an annual professional performing arts series, bringing internationally recognized artists to the campus. It is staffed by a union stage hand who serves as our technical director.

	The Boyer Gallery

	The Creative Woodworking Shop
	Following a long tradition of excellence and reflective of current trends in woodworking, the creative woodworking shop provides students at all skill levels with opportunities to complete individual or group projects. During the 2001-02 school year, 17 students and faculty members constructed as many touring kayaks over the course of the year. Following that, they traveled together to the Chesapeake Bay where all 17 kayaks were launched and their kayakers trained in paddling safety and paddling techniques. More recently, a similar number of students designed and created their own electric guitars from scratch while learning a variety of woodworking skills associated with their construction.
