Harlan E. Anderson Arena
Amphitheater-style seating serves as a gathering point at the start or end of a program, seating for event attendees, a presentation stage, or a relaxation place for drop-in visitors. The arena is outfitted with digital technologies that allow for filming and remote participation, including live streaming and teleconferencing
The arena is named in honor of Harlan E. Anderson (1929–2019). The Harlan E. Anderson Foundation’s support of CHM comes from Anderson’s lifelong commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to quality educational programs.
