The Academy

80A The Academy at Universal Music is a functional, versatile and customizable space for performance, content capture, events, large format recording, meetings, conferences, pop up shops and anything else the team at Universal Music Canada can dream up.

Boasting a state of the art Adamson PA system, a 16 fixture lighting grid and a fully licensed bar, The Academy is the perfect venue for performances from both our world class domestic and international artists.

Fully connected to the studio above with 32 FOH split lines, 8 tie lines, 8 SDI lines and 8 Cat6 data lines, The Academy was built not only as an amazing place to perform and capture content, but as a fourth studio space to accommodate any large format recording or just to capture the feel of a big room. Robust patching and access panels make the room incredibly modular for all types of events and uses. With a 4K broadcast camera system and available switcher, this space is ideal for live streams, interviews and press availabilities.

Whatever the needs may be, The Academy at Universal Music can provide solutions in a breathtaking atmosphere that lends itself to the creation and enjoyment of art and artists.
