The Boat

The Boat is the affectionate term given to the raised platform that occupys the Atrium-like portion of the Music and Dance building near the practice rooms.

At one point in its history a blond baby-grand piano was perched in one of its corners (now it resides in the seating area of the recital hall).

It is the meeting place of music groups and bands, and a communal center for many of Hampshire's musicians.
