	We were taken to a large open area, that serves as an "activity hall" that students can use for assemblies and rehearsals.
	Utility type construction for passageways between areas contrasts with the modern seating in the student facilities.
	Bob, Harold and Liz sat with Anthony, to discuss the setup of the Youthville facilities just before the tour.
	Beginning our tour we noticed the "basket channel" system for trunking the cables supplying the facility's areas.
	A fully-equipped Pro Tools control room is available for classes and student's use.
