Facilities


The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre


The Manhattan Theatre Club purchased the Biltmore Theatre in 2001 as a Broadway home for its productions.[6] After renovations, it re-opened in October 2003. With 650 seats the Friedman has about two-thirds of the capacity of the old Biltmore Theatre, although it now boasts modern conveniences such as elevators and meeting rooms. The theatre was renamed the "Samuel J. Friedman Theatre" on September 4, 2008 in honor of Broadway publicist Samuel Friedman.[7]


New York City Center, Stage I & Stage II


In 1984, the Manhattan Theatre Club moved to New York City Center's lower level. The Manhattan Theatre Club performance space comprises a 299-seat theatre with fixed seating (Stage I)[8] and a 150-seat studio theatre with variable seating configurations (Stage II).

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
