NHC Auditorium

The auditorium — in room E1.201 of Y‑12’s New Hope Center (NHC) — offers theatre-style seating for 410 persons, with a maximum occupancy of 426. It makes available the following audiovisual equipment:

• Two high-brightness computer/video projectors with dual screens.
• Multiple video source switcher for projectors/screens (can show DVD, computer presentations and, by special arrangement, videotapes). Two different items can be shown — one on each of the two screens.
• Two lavalier and two hand-held wireless microphones.
• Speakers (built into ceiling) and amplifier.
• Audio mixing board for audio sources.
• Two DVD players (videos).
• One CD player (music).

A trained operator must operate the audiovisual equipment. The operator will be supplied by B&W Y‑12 and any fees associated with the operator and rental of additional equipment will be reimbursed to B&W Y‑12 by the 501(c)(3) organization.

Only the first two rows of the NHC auditorium provide Internet access, though not through the B&W Y‑12 network. This direct access to the Internet is not regulated nor restricted as is Internet access from the B&W Y‑12 network. No internal Internet connections to the B&W Y‑12/National Nuclear Security Administration networks are available in the NHC auditorium.
