The building is served from a central campus high-pressure steam plant and central chilled water system. Inside the building, secondary chilled and hot water systems provide cooling and heating. Air handling systems which serve the rehearsal and performance areas are able to achieve NC 15; the related duct system operates at very low velocity and is free of noise generating accessories such as turning vanes or volume dampers. The large theater is served by a displacement-style cooling system, which places mild temperature air into the space at the floor level. This reduces the overall peak cooling load by stratifying much of the heating load generated by the theatrical lighting system near the ceiling of the theater.

A central campus emergency power grid serves life-safety equipment such as emergency egress lighting and alarm systems, as well as standby loads such as elevators and minimal HVAC to maintain building heating systems during a utility power outage.
