The design of the convocation tent features two sets of symmetrical arches that hold up a space large enough for 3000 people. The experience of the convocation focuses on the idea of “showcasing”, where the progression of graduates from their seats to the stage and back is elongated by way of a path down the middle lane. This allows the audience to have more time to see and take photos of the graduates. The audience is also seated on an angle, which offers an optimal view of both the stage and the central passage. In contrast to the opaque fabric in the rest of the tent, transparent PTFE fabric between the central arches highlights the passage.
