This scene plays at Bandeen Hall. Bandeen Hall was built as a gymnasium for the original school. It was then converted into a dining hall for the residence buildings. It is used as a performance hall and large studio by the university.

Bandeen Hall is the Music Department's concert hall. Blessed with excellent acoustics, Bandeen Hall is one of the CBC radio's favorite recording studios.

We'd like tell you some background information about this film location, taken from the Bishop's University homepage:

Bandeen Hall "was built as a gymnasium for undergraduates and the boys of Bishop's College School. After the School moved over the river in 1922, the hall was used for assemblies, for dances and as a theatre (with backstage entrance through a window!).

In 1950, the North-facing main door was replaced by the large bay window and the room became the dining-hall for the Norton-Pollack residence complex. From 1971 onward, all meals were served in Dewhurst Hall, and the room again passed into general use, serving in particular as the undergraduate Pub, until Memorial House was converted for that purpose. In 1977, temporary studios for the Fine Arts departments of Champlain College and the University were installed in the hall and adjacent kitchen and storage areas.

In 1990, as a result of the success of the Learning for Life campaign, these areas were converted into classrooms, studios and offices for the University's Music department, and the hall was converted into a concert hall, which was named for Robert A. Bandeen, Chancellor of the University from 1981 to 1987, and his wife, Mona Blair Bandeen, who have been generous benefactors of music at Bishop's."
