Lepercq Space

The Lepercq Space, BAM's flexible open plan space, has a history rich in BAM milestones.

Rental Inquiry Form

First designed as a ballroom, then recast as a theater for groundbreaking work, the Lepercq Space took its current design in 1997 as BAM's flexible public living room, a dazzling open-plan hall housing BAMcafé. Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates oversaw the renovation, preserving the spaciousness of the original ballroom with vaulted red arches lined with silver-tipped light bulbs. This dramatic space makes a stylish setting for receptions, meetings, and parties.
